Louisiana native on the elevator

This morning, Baker and I were headed down for some breakfast, and ended up sharing the elevator with an older woman, who lives in Northeast Louisiana. For some reason, the topic of conversation turned to Hurricane Katrina, and she too said something about how some of the people (referring to those in the Lower 9th Ward) "needed to leave" and that they "were all on drugs anyways."

Like Will, we too were shocked, but when we thought about the fact that such comments were coming from an older, affluent, Caucasian woman, it was slightly more believable.
