Sorry if anyone in here lives out in that area but I have to say- why

sound even funnier. Everyone and their grandma **knows** it is just a
matter of time before the big one flattens and kills many people and
here is the kicker IMO.....they choose to live there? They warned and
I had read for the last ten years about the Louisiana area. Sure

I am missing something. ;-)
Yeah, I myself question the 'rebuilding' of New Orleans. It's in a bowl for all
intents and purposes and it'll just get wiped out again. Not today, not
tomorrow, but it will happen.
New Orleans did just fine until George Bush cut the funds for levee
maintenance. *New Orleans did fine until the oil companies destroyed the
50 miles of marshlands between the city and the Gulf. *New Orleans did
fine until Mr. Go.
But don't worry. *Nobody's rebuilding New Orleans.- Hide quoted text -

Lets say everything you just said was the truth and no embellishments.
Why then did little ole' me know without a doubt that this was going
to happen and more than likely in my lifetime? Crystal ball maybe? Or
just common sense? You can pick.
- Name a place that isn't vulnerable.
True - To Something at Sometime.
-*New Orleans has low spots that were supposed to be
- protected by levees and pumps.
True and New Orleans had the 'responsibility' to see
that they did. No One Else [.]
So the City of New Orleans is NOT Responsible for It's
Own Levees ? - - - When specific Ear-Marked Federal
Funds are Provided to the City of New Orleans {District}
to Build and Maintain It's Own Levees !

-*The levees were the responsibility of George W. Bush
That's a Big Liberal Lie ! - Blaming The 'other' Guy.
- and the levees failed when they were supposed to protect.
True and State of Louisiana had the 'responsibility'
to see that they did. No One Else [.]
So the State of Louisiana is NOT Responsible for the
Levees out-side NewOrleans ? - - - When specific
Ear-Marked Federal Funds are Provided to the State
of Louisiana for Levee Districts to Build and Maintain
State Own Levees !
NOTE - The Louisiana State Legislature CUT the
Levee District's Tax Revenues in Half (1/2 ~ 50%).

Political Coruption Siphoning-Off of Money at both
the State and City Levels was the Root Cause of the
Destruction of New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina
because the Levees protecting the City were not
improved and maintained with the $1.9B Federal
Funds provided; while California got $1.4B.
