'Big Easy' bites back: shrimp, warm beer, Hurricane drinks

Battered but not beaten. Forget the thugs and gangs, the looting and raping - that will all be dealt with...ruthlessly. If not by man - then by God.

What we should remember, and cling too, is the true spirit of New Orleans and the South. Amidst the chaos, people still do good. They feed their friends and neighbors. They care for the strangers in their midst. They persevere. They celebrate life. It's what we Southerners do - there's more suffering in our DNA than one disaster could ever inflict, and we learned long ago not to let it get the best of us.

Well now, if we let a little thing like fire stop us - there wouldn't be an Atlanta today!

So true! I've always said, a city that hasn't had to rebuild a time or two has no character, and certainly no sense of history.
