Was interviewed by Paul South, the managing editor of the Mississippi Press <\/em>newspaper. At one point he asked me my take on the American people in general after all my traveling. I said it was my opinion many Americans have a “myopic” view of the world. That is, we are so focused on ourselves we don’t ‘see’ tumble down shacks with corrugated tin roofs and open sewage lines spilling into the streets of the Third World. I said the FEMA trailers here would be considered “mansions” there. And I called on some along the Gulf Coast to consider buying the FEMA trailers from the government (which are being offered at a reduced rate), taking them to higher ground and taking the savings from not building another home — and sending that money to the Third World. [What a social justice witness that would be to the rest of the country.]… I also said to Mr. South that we were adamantly pro-Life and we “win” the Election every time our message inspires someone to keep their baby or someone else to help at a crisis pregnancy center, or… And, yes, maybe one day one of these children would make it to the White House themselves. “But it’s even more important for them to just make it: to life.” Note: <\/strong> After the interview, we headed west along Rte. 90 viewing more Hurricane Katrina devestation through Biloxi and Gulf Port. And like in Pascagoula, it was mind boggling destruction. One of the eeriest scenes was in Gulf Port amidst a decimated section of businesses along either side of Rte. 90 along the beach. The buildings had been totally blown away for about a half mile with just remnants of part of a McDonald’s arch, half of a Huddle House Restaurant sign, the rest just scattered debris. In the midst — and totally intact — was a Lamar billboard with a close-up of the face of an old man giving a rather pronounced “rasberry (thumbs in his ears, tongue way out).” The caption read: “Say This To Your Competition!”<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
