What is the point in discussing Nagy now? Everyone agrees he was in the wrong. FEMA also carries much of the blame. One, is a mayor, while the other is supposed to respond to emergencies. There's more than enough blame to go around. I just don't see the point in being adversarial about it now. New Orleans was a tragedy, that never should have happened..but it did. New Orleans re-elected Nagy for unknown reasons, and the US re-elected Bush for unknown reasons. They both are corrupt, and are lousy at the jobs they were elected to do.

No,I do not. As I mentioned before, many schools require their students to perform community service in order to graduate. I don't know of any parent's protesting that requirement. It just sounds like sour grapes to me. People aren't being required to do anything horrible, only to contribute to society. We have had to do a lot of things during our lifetime that we didn't want to. That's life...even in the US. Remember the draft? Men were forced to serve, whether they wanted to or not. The world didn't come to an end. In fact, their forced serving helped keep us free. The country was all the better for having forced them to serve.

Do you really want me to name all of the schools in my area that require it?! Will the names mean anything to you? I can see you don't believe me, but I don't see how naming the schools will convince you. However, it IS true, and if you want names, I'll give you names. Sopal could name the school her boys went to. They live in a different state.

Will Obama lay on hands and heal the blind and raise the dead?

Hmmm...wasn't it the Dems who were "filled with hate" for the past 8 years?...years that we were at war, by the way? I guess that wasn't a good enough reason for the Dems to "pull together."

Yes, most people left or right agreed with going after the Taliban. However, it was done so ineptly that Afghanistan is probably close to being a worse mess now than how we found it. The Taliban are every bit as strong now, if not stronger.
