Warnings On N.O. Levee System Were Repeatedly made!

[DLR'sCock]

The Hurricane Levee Project was a federal project.

This is something I truly dont understand. NO, like Rotterdam in the Netherlands is one of the most vital ports in the western world and has huge economic importance to the US, as Rotterdam has to mainland Europe. Pretty much the whole of the Netherlands is under sea level and is at risk from the North Sea and the major rivers of Europe. The dutch have spent billions building flood and sea defences. They looked at the worst possible senario and invested to protect the land and it's inhabitants. I really dont understand why N.O. wasn't protected this way also.

I've said I blame ALL LEVELS of gov't for this about three or four times now.

But I get a little nauseated when I see about five of the same op-ed, it's all the mayor's and governor's faults articles...

Oh, I guees I misinterpreted the meaning of the 4 threads on the first page that you started that all seem to be laying the blame on the feds.

Especially this little gem:

A genuinely heroic mayor orders a total evacuation of the city the day before Katrina arrives, knowing that for decades now, New Orleans has been living on borrowed time.

Gee DIAMOND D, I failed to notice any of your own heroic defense of local and state officials, and any criticism of beloved FEARLESS LEADER and his appointed political lackies to FEMA, DHS and such. I was merely compensating for the knee-jerk, right-wing op-ed bullshit. So easy to blame the victims I guess...

Who are you going to blame when the killer earthquake hits Los Angeles ??

The dick bags Feds that take four days to respond...

[ELVIS]

I thought so...

[HELLVIS]

Any of you guys have flood insurance? Anyone?

[ELVIS]

Nope...

[HELLVIS]

Hey Elvis. How are you doin'?

Me neither. It's a sucker bet. You can never be fully protected. It's one of the first things they teach you in real estate school. They flat out tell you to avoid purchasing ANY properties in a flood zone. There are just too many loopholes in flood policies.

I'm doing great, thanks for asking...

I don't own any property, I'm a single guy and I rent dirt cheap...

[HELLVIS]

Glad to hear.

If you knowingly have sex with a prostitute and catch VD should you blame it on your president? Tawk amongst yourselves.

Nick, I've said this was a fuck up at all levels several times. But I don't have 4 threads laying the blame at one level. I haven't started one thread blaming anyone because I think it's a waste of time right now.

Personally, I've volunteered 2 hours a day of my time working a communication center my company set up for evacuees in my town for them to send emails or make phone calls. I've gathered up all my extra clothes and donated them. I damn sure don't spend all day on here looking for ways to blame people. No, it's not very suspicious that you want to lay all the blame at the federal level. Not with your history.

Nice spin on the "blame the victims". What the fuck ever.


Compensation, right. Explain who's posting more knee jerk bullshit. Surely not FORD and his "no media allowed in NO" thread.
