Reply #12: but they're no longer new orleans folk

[pitohui]

you know, the people who are here rebuilding are the people who are here living in the tents and trailers and the second floors of washed-out houses or on air mattresses in somebody else's den

the people who can't be arsed to be here after six plus months, i just don't know how you can still say they are new orleans folks

they are from new orleans, but it's their past now

i can see the other side of the argument but someone has to argue the other side, because this is truly a case of where the other side also has merit

guess i just don't see why people in houston and atlanta should be voting for orleans mayor etc.
