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. New Orleans has low spots that were
supposed to be protected by levees and pumps. The levees were the
responsibility of George W. Bush and the levees failed when they were
supposed to protect.

True - To Something at Sometime.

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%).
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.

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.

Dave I no what you are trying to get at and I can appreciate it. But
there are soooooooo many area that one can live. I can give just one
for example - where I live. I'm just using my area because I happen to
live here and I can promise you my dwelling will *never* be swept away
by a hurricane nor (chances are slim to none ) that the earthquake
from hell is going to smash up and swallow my area. The only 'natural
disaster' that can happen (as far as I know) is a tornado. This area
is known for tornadic activity for maybe three months out of the year.
But my specific area isn't a 'hotbed' for such activity. Can it
happen? Sure it can. But there is a huge difference in living where I
do compared to Louisiana or California, so huge in fact that there is
no comparison.
