Dude , you need to chill....
Those levees needed work for 40 years... The hint is that republicans have been cutting spending on the people and trading it in for deciding what gov't other countries should have... Spending our tax dollars on some mes 1/2 way across the world that has nothing to do with US bu yet we neglect our own needs...
That is the only hint I can see in this

I think that we can all agree that the hurricanes are a result of the poor and poorly educated folks in the affected areas, which draws the weather toward them; and the government's strategic placement of numerous steno submarines to create these "super" hurricanes to wipe them out. Bush had a vision as a child that this would happen one day, and has been going into the river with a hammer and chisel to slowly weaken the levy on his free time.

my previously unflooded/undamged historic old house in nawlinz still may get flooded.......
You've never said where your house is. Is your house in the 9th ward?
If your house is not in New Orleans east , then why would you think it would be affected?

i just hope they have to build NO from scratch like the way they had to w/Galveston in 1900 after the hurricane...
According to the news, the taxes paid daily from the casinos were $500,000 / day.. now where the heck did all that $$ go, i'm sure it could have helped in strengthening the levee system ....

If it keeps on rainin’, levee’s goin’ to break,
If it keeps on rainin’, levee’s goin’ to break,
When the levee breaks I’ll have no place to stay.
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,
Lord, mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,
Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home,
Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well.
Don’t it make you feel bad
When you’re tryin’ to find your way home,
You don’t know which way to go?
If you’re goin’ down south
They go no work to do,
If you don’t know about chicago.
Cryin’ won’t help you, prayin’ won’t do you no good,
Now, cryin’ won’t help you, prayin’ won’t do you no good,
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move.
All last night sat on the levee and moaned,
All last night sat on the levee and moaned,
Thinkin’ ’bout me baby and my happy home.
Going, go’n’ to chicago,
Go’n’ to chicago,
Sorry but I can’t take you.
Going down, going down now, going down.

Get off the soapbox, this is nutty.
Both parties have exchnaged control of Congress and the White House over the past few decades, and none of them did SHIT about New Orleans vulnerability to storms, even though it has been well understood forever.
Both parties have the same agenda. There are no real differences.
gjohnson5 said:
Yes - the idea of a two party system divides and conquers the American people, turns every debate into "us" against "them", and blinds people to the straight up theft and waste of their tax money.
The federal budget is $2.5T per year.
You could buy every sports team in NFL, NBA and MLB 10 times, and still have enough to buy Wal Mart, Microsoft and GE.
Imagine what that money could do used effectively. But we'll never know as long as the two party system reigns.

I would agree, except that by costing us $2.5 trillion per year, the economy is already being messed with.

for sure bor, but it is an interesting fact, considering LA's pop and land mass is not the greatest...maintaing the mouth of the river i guess costs a sheetoload.

Both parties need to split into at least two. GOP into Fiscal vs. Social Conservatives; Dems into, uh, I don't really see a logical split point, maybe Loonie Left vs. Moderates? Maybe a third splinter group from the GOP would be the Neo-Con Warlords.

Which is funny in that they have been complaining about funding as well...
The whole sediment issue with the damming of the Mississippi has caused mega erosion at the mouth of the river. It also has causing NO to sink.
The seafood industry is big in that area. Much of the countries shrimp and oysters come from there. Grand Isle and Venice are huge in offshore fishing.
The marsh land also protects NO from storms, the more it erodes the more hurricanes are going to hurt that town

Nah, I imagine a regime in which federal government lacks power except in clearly defined situations - essentially a 1776 perspective.
I also believe in limiting who votes.
I think the Texans left when they were told too.
Anyone that builds a city below sea level isn't very bright. Bush policies have nothing to do with people dumb enough to build a city below sea level and then not leave. I personally prefer my damns to be built from concrete as well. But hey, I guess it is all Bushes fault. I mean afterall, he did force them to stay and then didn't tell them the rain was coming.
