This country has had many many terrible natural disasters of all kinds. And, I'm sure there has been much done wrong as well as right in each scenario down through the years.

But, why has this particular event been publicized and rehashed over and over again?!

First of all, those in political power in N.O. knew before anyone else how bad it was, and those in power got themselves out of N.O. long before the initial disaster hit. Why was that? Thousands were left to fend for themselves when so many could have been helped.(The unused buses left in a parking lot for one.)

Secondly, the very land N.O. is sitting on is silt.........Look up in the dictionary what silt is. All of southern Louisiana is not fit for human habitation and has never been. All of the land there in N.O. & elsewhere has been slowly sliding off into the ocean for years and years. Ray Nagin knows this and so do the Army Core of Engineers.I believe they are losing a foot of shoreline a year.
The only living thing that can survive that area is alligators, birds and the swampy tree areas. The animals have dealt with it for centuries.

Common sense tells anyone it has become a political and monetary football as well as who can we blame business initiated by Ray Nagin and all his very corrupt and criminal cronies.Remember N.O. has the highest crime rate in the United States..............All the silt and all the politics, all the crime because of the corrupt goings on there who in their right mind would want to live there?

Not me.
