Let's Not Dismiss our Fellow Americans so Quickly - New Orleans Needs Help

Bill R.: Great editorial from a newspaper that supported their community through some historically destructive weather.

New Orleans Times-Picayune: "Americans wanted the oil and gas that flow freely off our shores. They longed for the oysters and shrimp and flaky Gulf fish that live in abundance in our waters. They wanted to ship corn and soybeans and beets down the Mississippi and through our ports. They wanted coffee and steel to flow north through the mouth of the river and into the heartland."
