I was wondering if there hasn't been a tiny bit of double standards at work recently:

While poorer residents of New Orleans who just wanted to hang onto what little they had left, were forced out of their homes at gunpoint, because "the city is a health hazzard", we can read in the FT: FT news item

If New Orleans were to make an award for entrepreneurial spirit in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, then Weylan Rhame, general manager of the Radisson Airport hotel, would be a top contender.
Would I be correct in sniffing out some double standards here
