US priorities are just wrong

If you want an example of just how screwed up US priorities are then have a look at this story. It seems that a bunch of the affluent who had managed to stay cosy and dry due to their privileged status as residents of the Hyatt Hotel managed to get priority treatment and were allowed to jump the evacuee queue at the Superdome.
I can't help but get a mental picture of a bunch of suit wearing lawyer types being ushered to the front of the line and the poor and unwanted being threatened by National Guard assault rifles. This is disgusting, shameful, and immoral and it makes it totally clear what values the US hold dearest and they're not liberty, freedom, and equality.
