When you're a hundred miles wide by sixty miles high that's how it is.

How many miles high are you today, Rickets?

I am 1,780' AMSL, Steve.

As soon as you decide to grow up, boy. Though I'm figuring that's not going to
happen.

Now run along.

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 -

- Show 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 !
http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/12/...ing/index.html

-*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%).
http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/12/...ing/index.html

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.

It's just a matter of time before a hurricane reeks havoc on New York

Have you truly read and researched about this subject matter other
than major motion picture or books of fiction? I am serious when I say
this. You may do this in the field of work that you do. I don't- I
just try an use common sense. From what I have read it would
'literally' take an act of God for a storm pattern to do to New York
what Hollywood book writers try an portray is going to happen in the
near future. Now for sake of conversation, could it happen? Sure it
could. But if you know anything about weather patterns and such it
would .......like I said.....be an act of God. In that case, nothing
is going to stop it.

Southern California has the best weather in the country.

No doubt. Just about everytime I hear or read about the weather in
California it is nice. *The day after the crap hits the fan and every
major press/journalist is over there.....in the background it will
look like a postcard. Of course minus the destroyed home/buildings/
highways and death etc. etc. etc. Again - many analogies could now be
written- but I won't waste the bandwidth. ;-)

*The earthquake
risk is part of the price one pays for living in paradise.

I noticed the ironic choice of words there. **earthquake/risk/price/
paradise** It is like those four words don't belong in the same
sentence but alas they are. That is what I am saying - again not to
sound mean- because just like Louisiana- you think that was bad?
LOL....dude that was childs play compared to what is going to happen
to the western area. It may sound harsh but when it does go down - and
it will- chances are (using my crystal ball again) I will be slowly
sipping my coffee and shaking my head and rolling my eyes - like "DUH"
don't act like this wasn't expected...lol. No- I am not sending anyone
money either.

*Regardless
of the ridiculous coverage in the national press, virtually nobody here
thought it was a very big deal.

Indeed it was ridiculous. That size of quake isn't nothing - I also
believe nobody there felt it was a big deal because I know for a fact
that it wasn't a big deal and I live in Cincinnati- imagine that.

- A disaster can strike one part of town and
- life goes on elsewhere.
-*When you're a hundred miles wide by sixty miles high
- that's how it is.

? When you're a hundred miles wide
by sixty miles high that's how it is. ?

The state and the city are not responsible. The US Army Corps of
Engineers are responsible. Mr. Bush is Commander in Chief. He even has
a cute little Eisenhower jacket that says so.
