    Default New Orleans rumours

    Just wanted to share this interesting article from the Libertarian magazine Reason which debunks a lot of horror stories about New Orleans during and after Katrina. Maybe everybody who compared those inhabitants who were left behind to 'animals' should think again.

    Was this really any surprise? The USA media blows things out of proportion all the time to get ratings. They freak you out so you tune in enso facto more revune.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Don't worry, you can always make the top of the Dutch news. You think they do things differently here? Think again...
