New Orleans will never recover

[gotmilk]

what im talking about doing as far as the military getting involved is air dropping supplies to people. you dont need no authorization to do that. they need food and water.

How about parachuting in troops too? There are large land masses that are flood free. Perfect training exercise but with the urgent need too..

This is not a Mom and Pop neighborhood like many would like to believe...the majority of what was destroyed belonged to those earning low wages and/or were unemployed.

I feel for the peeps who have less than nothing right now more then I'm worried about a city known only for tits and beeds to regain its status as such.

I think this gloom and doom talk is a bit premature. That city may be more resilient than it now appears, in a few months when the 75% of the population who evacuated are able to return and start rebuilding their lives.

Probably any major metropolitan area would show a similar reversion to animalistic behavior when disaster strips away the thin veneer of civilization and only the poorest and most ignorant are left behind. New Orleans is not special in that regard.

I agree though that developers will blanch at rebuilding some areas. When I see the sea of rooftops poking through the water on TV, I wonder how many of those structures will still be viable when the waters subside? I bet they end up having to bulldoze whole neighborhoods.

IMO, the government's response to this catastrophy has been nothing short of pathetic.

Then again when the citizens of the affected area are looting and destroying their own neighborhood, they aren't helping much either...

how widespread is the looting?

from what your describing, it sounds like a post-apocalyptic world
of little technology and much savagery. like something stephen
king might write about.

This was bound to happen when you build a city that is below sea level!

Even the cops are looting as witnessed on TV last night.

Armed gangs are the ruling class now.

This is just the true nature of the ghetto blacks emerging. I don't think anyone is suprised. This will become another Somalia.
