1. Clinton cut much of the budget for the levee way before Bush cut it some more....and much of what WAS meant for the levee money THE MAYOR used toward culture activities, water fountains and other landscaping and architechial type things.
2. It is the local governments (THE MAYORS) job to evacuate its people; NOT Washington's.
3. New Orleans DID have an evacuation plan; but THE MAYOR and governor did not think (or maybe even didn't care) how serious the damage would be.
4. FEMA and the Red Cross could not do anything to help the situation until THE MAYOR or governor signed for them to have the go ahead....which didn't happen til way too late.
5. While us outsiders are trying to find ways in to help THE MAYOR is forcing the residents out...instead of getting their help as well.
6. Instead of coming together and focusing on dealing with the problem the focus is diverted to the blame game; AND THE MAYOR is more concerned about sending his police force to Las Vegas since they are so stressed...(shouldn't that come after the immediate problems are resolved)
7. 'They' are *better off now* because they were impoverished anyway....(Barbara Bush)
and now the government can go in there and build expensive condo's without worrying what to do with these *impoverished* people....
...So it is a win-win situation since many of these *impoverished* walked off with T.V.'s, jewelry and other items they otherwise couldn't afford to even touch...(Celine Dion)
and the local government THE MAYOR has Eminent Domain due to nature...no fault of their own...they can now build million dollar mansion,etc...and attract the rich....while *the impoverished* are distributed throughout the U.S.A. no longer the mayors concern....
I could go on about all this mess...
but bottom line:
seems to me THE MAYOR has the brunt of the blame
...talk about making my head spin.
Well if my *impoverished* truck miraculously heals
I hope to go to somewhere between the Mississippi mud and the ragin' cajun's to help whatever way I can....so please pray for my luck to change enough that I can manage it.
