Confusion Rules Road In and Out of Galveston
Original article by, Alan Feuer and Thayer Evans

Hurricane Ike really took a toll, not only on the cities and states it hit, but the people of said cities and states. In Galveston, Texas, the mayor Lyda Ann Thomas, had said that citizens could go into the city under a "look and leave" policy from six a.m. to six p.m. but was quick to go back on her word due to the massive volumes of people coming in; They simply could not handle the amount. In other words, people were turned away from their homes. This, as I see it, is a violation of man's natural rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. If you can't go home, you are being deprived of the right of the pursuit of happiness. How can you be happy, if you aren't allowed to see your home? Although desperate times call for desperate measures, people should be allowed to go homes, if they are still in a condition to be seen.
