Re: [QUAD-L] USA for ___

[Ol' Man River]

Many places in Africa need exactly what New Orleans needs, a U-HAUL.  Guess what, that's not a good place to live.  Either there's too much water or not enough, in either case, weather is tough to change.  If you can't dig a well to get water or build a good dyke to keep it out - better off to move.  Staying put and crying about the weather if futile.    When shakey town gets shook and most of the town is destroyed and most of the population is killed then maybe it's time for them to make the same decision.   If a few shakes here and there don't bother you that much then oh well.  If you don't like seeing whole cities or countrys wiped out by mother nature, then it's time to wake up and move.

I was just thinking about all the Hollywood Tycoons and artists who *have* the clout to make a difference.   USA FOR AFRICA (1983ish) sold millions of copies to help a country that is no better off today than they were from the monetary help back then.   I don't see a concert effort like USA for NEW ORLEANS coming together anytime soon.   Ideally such nation-renowned events should take place before the next natural disaster hits.   It's as if folks blindfold themselves into that ~it can't happen here~ mindset.   Wait till a tidal wave hits L.A.!!!   And/or a quake in Calif is quite overdue... especially along the fault line.  The fault line (and it's previous destruction) hasn't stopped folks from risky living.   Lori Michaelson C4/5 complete quad, 25 years post Tucson, AZ
