I don't have a helluva lot of sympathy for the Katrina "victims"...We knew for at least a week the damthing was comin', you turned on ANY TV, all you could see was this huge red-ass blob heading straight for Nawlins, that's all they talked about, either hunt you a dry hole, or get the F!$% out...This ain't rocket science. I think even if I was poor, I could have found SOMEBODY to take me somewheres else-Did ALL those people not either have family or friends elsewhere they could have stayed with ? OK, the authorities DID kinda look like Ned in the 1st grade primer, & then played "Who shot John ?" afterwards...But YOU are ultimately responsible for YOUR own backside...If you are waiting on the Gummint-at whichever level-to rescue yr butt, you are likely gonna end up disappointed...Or dead. And THINK....New Orleans typically gets clobbered once every 25 years or so, at least...This WILL happen again. That in itself would give me serious pause to want to settle down permanent-like there. Another thing...The whole friggin' place is built BELOW SEA LEVEL....Hello ! You're livin' in a place that 1) gets hit by a hurricane at least once every generation, & 2) Its all below sea level. That means "Normally under Water"...Don't come Pissin' & Moanin' when you get to know yr rooftop up close & personal...'Cause odds are, you WILL...
