Subject: Re: The Doom That Came To N'Warlins - II
The suffering of 20K people is awful. No argument there. But the
long-term aftereffects are going to affect a lot more than 20K
people, for a large number of years, and the next time something
like this happens, if we're still badly prepared, things will be
just as bad. It seems to me that these are important considerations
to bring up, and that shaking out the problems might be more
effective than words of sympathy.
Where are you getting the number 20K from?
I would estimate 2 million to be closer to the actual number of
people who have suffered seriously from Katrina.
Uh, yeah. I think it's close to 20K that have been (or are being
brought) to *Austin*, and Houston is getting a lot more, Dallas and
San Antonio are probably each getting more, and that's just people
evacuated to large cities in *Texas*.
The 20K was the number of people stuck in the Superdome.
Ah.
I don't know about you, but I was a heck of a lot more worried about the
people who ended up in front of the Convention Center, actually....
