The storm and flood brought out people's true feelings about the city. Some people had control over if they stayed or left. Of those people, those who were tolerating the city, left. People who liked it, love it now and they want to sing it from the mountaintop. Or from the flag pole in front of their house. There are these flags that people have placed on their porches that have New Orleans colors and fluer de les and say "NOLA Rebuild" or something like that.
Sumner said to me today, "If we are going to help rebuild this state, we better get one of those flags for our house."
That's the spirit.
