Our First Katrina Refugees

They can be adamant all they want. Refugee is the terminology *I* am
using It's accurate.

Such is the result of the disenfranchised being groomed to rely on
others for their well-being... not being raised with respect for
themselves or others, nor to be responsible for one's own actions.

Keep in mind I am referring soley to the troublemakers, regardless of
their race. Depravity is colorblind.

The people need a place to go, but I have to wonder how many of these

percent. They have nothing to lose.

I hope I am totally wrong.

Yea... they have plenty to lose. They will lose what freedom they have
left (individual criminals) and they also would be banished from the
dome. There have already been crackdowns on pot selling at the Dome
(apparently the Louisiana cops only cited you for smoking it, not having
it). There has been only one CONFIRMED sexual assault on premises per
the media, but the email and gossip rumors are abounding.

Slowly but surely the thugs will be weeded out, and removed. There is a
constant police presence not only at the dome, but at most of the
hospitals as well, and I am sure some of the local businesses are hiring
off duty cops in the interim as well. Not the place to act stupid, and
the stupid will quickly find this out the hard way. Unlike New Orleans,
our Jail is open for business.

One subway restaurant put up a sign that prohibited loitering,
essentially saying you need to buy something to hang out and sit in the
restaurant, otherwise the Police would be called to escort you out.

On the flip side, there are opportunities abound for those who WANT to
help themselves: there are already job fairs, resume building sessions,
nationwide companies are finding local work for displaced citizens.

The shelters in other Texas cities have already emptied considerably
(into private establishments and housing), but the Dome is gonna be
ground central for the disenfranchised for quite a while, I believe.

This one I might watch!

Wading through turd-infested waters to scroune a water bottle... then
hijack a generator, siphon the gas from a flooded car while being shot
at by a sniper..

the plot has potential.

It's a small world ain't it? Made smaller by the internet. VPI has a
strip if I remember correctly.

Oh yes, I forgot, that is some of the most BEAUTIFUL area I have ever
been in. I still take my wife and kids down there just to see where
daddy went to school and just to see the nice rural area and the
beautiful scenery.

I used to go splunking around that area and tubing in New River. BTW,
the Klan had their march in Radford while I was there.

Elkheart, KS not Elheart.

Interesting ,
I have not seen any KKKnothead activity since I have been here. Back to
aviation, I do love flying around this area, it really is a beautiful part
of the country. And I sure do hope some sport planes become available here.
trying to move over closer to Bristol, that's where the wife works. If we do
I may end up flying out of Abingdon alot....when I get a plane in the air
But I actually like Hawkins Co. TN airport better. Nice bunch of guys there,
most of which love to restore planes, or build them. One can learn alot from
such folks !!!!

Wow! That's totally different from my experiences.
I find that kids adapt much more quickly than their parents.
Up until middle school (6 grade - 8 grade) when they start to form
social cliques (the kids, that is).

Was it your personal experience as a kid or as an adult with kids?
