What the fuck! they climbed into the trunk from the back seat?! Why weren't they in their seatbelts?! Why didnt she pull over when they started to allegedly "climb in the trunk through the backseat," and BEAT THEIR little asses and seat belt them in?! F R E A K!!

I'm sure nothing will ever come of it. But it felt good to just get it off my chest. I wrote this to the writer of that article:
Dear Sir,
Let me start by saying, I am homesick. I moved from Metairie, LA to
Oklahoma City, OK as a result of hurricane Katrina, and I am
PHYSICALLY homesick. We evacuated from our apartment home in
Metairie, the Friday before the Katrina, to Lucedale, MS. We evacuated
right into its path. We survived 4 days, no electricity, no running
water, food running out and rotting, only barely hearing waht has
happened on a radio that the batteries died in. No contact with the
outside world. No gas to escape. We were eventually rescued by
distant relatives who brought us to Sturgis, MS to collect gas and
return to Lucedale to retreive our vehicles. We stood in Walmart's
parking lot begging for gas cans and waiting in lines. But I thank God
everyday we weren't in the Superdome. Trust that, sir.
We've lived here in Oklahoma City, officially since, September 26,
2005. (Yes, I realize there is a bit of time in there between our
evacuation and our actual residence. In between that time was
sleeping in campers on lawns, spare rooms, and driving, what seemed
like forever, from Mississippi, through Tennesee, Alabama, and clear
across Oklahoma to Elk City, trying to avoid gas shortages and fearing
we wouldn't make it.) Myself, my daughter, and Fiance are planning to
move back at the end of February and are especially petrified to make
this move considering the recent remarks made by Mayor Ray Nagin. He
has confirmed what I have feared since we left...he is not concerned
with ALL citizens returning. He is not concerned with the brotherhood
and strength of ALL of his previous residents. He is not interested in
welcoming all people "home."
I worry that people do not realize how heartbreaking it is to feel
unwanted in your own home, as well as unwanted somewhere else. I can't
even bear to see anything come on the television, radio, or read in
magazines about Katrina and everyone's speculations about the city,
its people, or GOD, for that matter. It is all too much to bear. And
I want to know, I need to know, who wants us ALL back? I have been a
single mother to my daughter, with no help from her father, paying
taxes, working full time, put myself through college, and have been
displaced by GOD, from my home, and I want to know, who what wants MY
"kind" back? Who wants the hard workers? Who wants the tax payers?
Who wants the ones who really miss their home, regardless of their
race, back home once again?
I saw a woman on the news the other day. She had an anonymous
millionaire buy a home for her and her family to live in FREE for a
year. When asked her feelings on this most kind gesture she replied,
"Yeah, its good for now. But in a year, then what?" In a year then
what?! I see people looking for the next hand-out and I am just
destroyed. My mother is still in Louisiana, still waiting for her
trailor, so they can repair the sheetrock in their home. Still
struggling with my sister who has Cerebral Palsy, my Father who is a
retired Veteran and has recently endured surgery on his shoulder he
injured trying to repair HIS home. Oh, why didn't they just move?
Well my sister's and father's medications aren't anywhere but "Home."
And I know there are those much worse than us. And I am not saying I
don't appreciate surviving. But, sir, tell me who will appreciate a
hard-working, Louisiana resident, New Orleans lover's, return?
Best Regards,
Genevieve Oxford
