"HELP US W"
You don't need to read between the lines of this plea to President Bush, painted in white block letters onto a street in Metairie near the 17th Street canal.
Some anonymous everyman or woman was asserting an American right: calling upon not only the government's resources, but its compassion. Congress already has paid the first installment on that claim, $62 billion in aid to the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
It's the American way.
