  Hardly...  The ones with the means headed out of
town, and not all of them did.  Not all people with the
means were smart,  some of them inherited their
fortunes.  While some smart people stayed behind out of
concern for their neighbors.  You need to read more and
get a better grasp of proper thinking methods.
Simplistic statements like the one you made above do
nothing to add to America's understandings of the
problems.

  Independant?  Why, then, would you want to blame the
victims of the storm for their plight?  What's so
independant about not realizing that there were poor
people in the path of the storm who did not have
transportation nor money to leave?  That's suspiciously
close to the kind of "thinking" the Bush Adm., wants
people to do as a way of getting itself excused for
it's terrible failures and gross inattentivenesses.
But hardly anything that could be arrived at by an
independant thinker,  considering the vast array of
materials out there to be reviewed on the net,  much of
it from highly credible sources,  like military and
naval officers etc.,  news organizations and the first
responders themselves.

So much so for your theory of being an independant
thinker,  wouldn't you say?  Merely towing a party line
is not thinking independantly.
