i agree with you on why anyone would want to live there. i wouldn't and i don't have any wierd dillusions about living near shark infested water. the areas in new orleans should be left as tourist areas only, but because sometimes the property is a million dollars an acre near the oceans, all those poor people who own a little lot of land would be ripped off if they couldn't get their land back.
new orleans should take their loss as it is and not rebuild. maybe the government could give them a swap being the government could use the ocean front for in-season tourism. i really hope they don't go back, but they have lived there all their lives. new orleans has been around since before the u.s.a. was ever thought of. their government representatives are mostly responsible for how slow things are moving. the higher up officials shouldn't have to make such small decisions. they just handle all the money to be disbursed. the police departments, mayors, city council members, governors, and senators are mostly to blame. it shows there are a lot of bad politics in the state of louisiana by how slow they were. sometimes it is hard to get a bad-click of people out of authority. it's a shame it took a disaster like this to point it out. america is not equiped for disasters and don't know how to respond to them. they have books and training, but no one to test them. our little town in tennessee has test runs on all of their emergency departments even for terrorism. it was almost required because of 9/11, so new orleans must have missed out on a lot of training. all of their city official including the police department should have been better prepared. to: --- Carol Adkinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: from susan in tennessee,u.s.a. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
