I think everyone that lives within about 100 miles of a coastline, anyone near a faultline, anyone near a major city, anyone near a major river, volcano, tornado prone area, wildfire prone area, mudslide area, railroad, etc. are all idiots. Frankly is there anyone left with a worthwhile IQ? I think we've narrowed down a majority of the nation with various acts of God and acts of man.

Talk about irrational. And yes, anyone living in an area with a high susceptibility to a disaster that could wipe out everything they possess and who also expect that if this does happen for the government to fix everything is a person of low intelligence or too used to government dependence or both.

No, I think you can basically narrow it down to New Orleans, San Francisco, and Las Vegas.

I am actually sick to my stomach after reading this thread. It is down right pitiful. Florida gets hit almost every year and nothing is ever said. La gets hit once in 40 years and we are all idiots. I never chose to live there. I was born there and my parents and my grandparents. And BTW, I didnt live below sea level like everyone keeps talking about and still got flooded. You just never know. My whole family stayed so I guess they have low IQ's too. I feel you cant have much of an opinion if you didnt live it because you dont really know the whole story. You only get what the media puts out and that is mostly crap.

On this, I somewhat agree.

Unfort, too many people lump the entire city of New Orleans with those from the 9th Ward that expect that type of answer from the Federal Government.

NEWSFLASH: Most of the WORKING CLASS IN NEW ORLEANS DO NOT EXPECT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO FIX EVERYTHING

I feel you're pain LA, I see where you're coming from.

To the issue of the NO area after the hurricane, commenting as an American and not through a political filter, if FEMA and related government entities are'nt designed and funded to protect the population of the United States...what are they for? It seems to me no matter what income bracket, educational level, or likeable marketability factor Americans occupy...if struck by a natural disaster its the rest of our nations poulation and the governments moral and patriotic duty to see to our fellow Americans needs are met ASAP. United States...united unless its becomes uncomfortable, or expensive? It shocks me that our government who hands out millions upon millions in foriegn aid, were slow as mollasses in winter at getting aid to the folks down there. I guess there was no return on the investment seen in it, what in the world is happening to this nation?

FEMA put up $115 million of the $185 used to renovate the Superdome, evidently that is what FEMA is for.

That is the most irrational statement I've ever heard. You know how many areas of this country are prone and susceptible to some sort of disaster? With your logic about 90% of this country is brainless.

Susceptible and high susceptibility are 2 different concepts. You seem to fall easily into the 90% you reference above.

I will place HIGH in front of the word. If you are arguing that much of a difference, between the two then you need help. And cheap insults sinks to the level of the 90% as well. Moving any time soon? Where do you live by the way?

No where that I have to worry about some act of nature that is as common as the seasons changing affecting my status. I guess that puts me in the 10%.

Not naming where you live? And you said disaster not natural disaster and there is a difference. You could be susceptible to something non-natural. Back in the 90% I guess.....

Nope, still in the 10%. We are all susceptible to something non-natural, theorhetically speaking. If it so non-natural, it would be difficult to assess how high the risk is to that event. Even so, if it did happen, I do not place my reliance on the federal government to fund the reestablishment of my previously normal existence. This point you make does nothing to absolve the people that lived in NO of the responsibility their choices.

This is for U-T, since I do feel that he understands that the failure of the local governments contributed greatly to the outcome of Hurricane Katrina: Why was Nagin re-elected? Do you believe that Blanco will be re-elected in 2007?

To my knowledge, I highly doubt that the displaced persons from the 9th Ward were sending in absentee ballots. That means that the wealthier persons are responsible for his re-election.

I could be wrong. The DNC could have been passing out absentee ballots in Houston and around the FEMA trailers, which is entirely possible. However, if that is the case, why would anyone want to live in a city where the man who should be held most responsible for the city's demise is bulletproof and is re-elected?

Still not saying where you live huh?

I guess during this war on terror, anyone working in a major city, skyscraper, etc. is an idiot for making that choice to work in such a highly susceptible to disaster environment as well.

Actually there were many groups handing out absentee ballots all over the nation. It was very difficult to track these people down since many groups like Red Cross never shared location lists. The only way to officially track these people where other groups could locate and contact them was if they filled out a change of address form.

You still not making any points as usual...

I did not tell you where I live because you have probably never heard of it and it is none of your business. It is not close to a city.

You yourself only said disasters. I merely based my comments on your own boundary.

I believe that they had buses bringing people from Atlanta and Houston to vote and many did by absentee. I think he promised alot and they thought he would help them get back home. They are still displaced. I really doubt Blanco will be re-elected. I was honestly shocked when she was elected in the first place.

I don't think Blanco is to be underestimated. She is very well connected with a lot of power in LA. She's managed to keep her access to this power under wraps.
