Here are a few facts for you to consider...

P.S. I hope EVERYBODY will now stop the name calling and consider using what we have, and apes don't.
Thank you for a logical and intelligent assessment of the situation. Maybe I did come on a little too strong, but this is how serious I take this matter. It is no joke when so many thousand American citizens die. This is the USA and I at one time fought for the ideas that are in our Constitution, and I am still fighting today within various political groups. The Republicans and neo-conservatives are turning what used to be a great country into a facist dictatorship (if you don't agree, I'd be happy to give you all a lesson). I feel that you are slightly misdirected though as this administration has been cutting every social program since it came into power. This includes the Core of Engineers budget to repair and upgrade the floodwalls in New Orleans. If the government would have realized the seriousness of this back when it was proposed to them, this situation would have never arised and it is possible that New Orleans would be dry today.

EDIT: In response to your "What Say You" I say that I praise Mr. West for his statement. That is precisely what this country needs, people who care enough to risk their reputation for what they believe. How can you think that this will help him? Remember the Dixie Chicks and their attempt to protest the war? He knows very well that he could loose some fans for expressing himself, yet he understands that this issue is more important then the money that he makes.
EDIT2: Added more links for ya'll to get some good info from. If you disagree, take time to read them and tell me why.
