True, but we have to remember that New Orleans was originally selected as a port city due to it being at the mouth of the Mississippi. It still is, and alot of commerce runs through it still. You can't just remove the city cause we do need the port. However, the growth of it to what it is now was managed poorly, the levees were managed poorly, the wetlands were managed poorly, and the people who live there know that, and knew it before the hurricane too.
It's a big frustration if that the government there keeps everyone squabbling all the time about stupid party affiliations and who's to blame and who gets the money and no-one focused on the problem at hand. Given the above facts, it does make a whole lot of sense to get the heck outta dodge. I mean I am all about getting involved in solving the problem, but once you realise that you can't make a difference, it's time to go. -Cameron On 6/2/06, G Money <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > But again, wouldn't the BEST preparation had been to keep people out of > there in the first place?
