Hey, Di, we all are a little stressed right now due to the happenings in New Orleans.
Speaking of the racial element I just don't get it. Black, white, asian, or whatever, human is still human and that is what matters most.
The problems in the Gulf states clearly shows that we are not self sufficient to take care of ourselves and this needs to be rectified. Think of all the resources being spent in Iraq, Afganistan, and other countries of the world our government is shelling out and how much good they could be used in New Orleans, Biloxi, and other areas hit by Katrina.
