Who is Katrina bashing, California?
I should be upset about the recent comparisons of the California, San Diego fires to hurricane Katrina. The media would like to take every opportunity to degrade the state of Louisiana and what happened during Katrina. The fact of the matter IS California is one of the richest states in the Union if NOT THE RICHEST state in the United States. Louisiana is rural. It’s largest city is New Orleans. Comparisons between Louisiana and California should be limited to Hollywood fantasy. . They quite simply cannot be made legitimately. Why the media has chosen to bash Louisiana again for hurricane Katrina, I do not know. These media types have been struggling for news stories, have forged journalistic credentials, and are typically dense and careless with their reporting. Of course California would have better emergency planning than Louisiana. They have more money. Those reporting comparitively should be required to donate their personal time in helping rebuild in Mississippi and Louisiana. As for those families in California who have lost everything - they have my condolences.

Saw a post of yours on another blog and had to follow you over.
I'm a New Orleans native now living in Mississippi, so I saw both states that got slammed by Katrina. I couldn't agree more with your post.
Sure, San Diego did a better job with putting people in its stadium after the fires than we did after Katrina. Could the fact that only part of the city was damaged, so the rest could operate just fine and take care of these relatively few people, as opposed to an entire city being turned upside-down, have anything to do with it?
