Of course! This is the kind of thing that happens when you put FEMA in the defense department. For heavens sake! I even heard on the news that a couple of years ago President Bush wanted to privatize FEMA. This entire thing is so annoying. Considering they researched this scenario a couple of years ago and even then figured out that 25% of the people couldn't be evacuated. What's the use of researching worst case scenarios if they don't put their findings into place? -C --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, Tracey de Morsella \(formerly Tracey L.

It is only going to get worse as the confirmation hearings for Roberts begin. And, of course, Bush and Co. will also be committing their full attention towards replacing Rehnquist and starting a war with Iran. And the current cycle of hurricanes (not just this season) will only get worse. __ James Landrith [EMAIL PROTECTED] cell: 703-593-2065 * fax: 760-875-8547 AIM: jlnales * ICQ: 148600159 MSN and Yahoo!

What gets me, though, is that in spite of all evidence to the contrary, all the government officials keep saying that the response is adequate because we have enough national guards. It's like being told not to believe what your mind is telling you is so clear. I mean...today they only have 60 or so helicopters out there taking people off roofs. Repeat: 60 or so helicopters Is it me or if there are people locked up in attics, amputees stuck in houses, nuns in retirement homes, people in hospices, pregnant women -- not to mention able-bodied people, ALL STARVING AND DEHYDRATING-- shouldn't we have way more helicopters and national guard folks out there knocking down doors and pulling up roofs? Yes, they're evacuating the dome and the shelters...but they don't have a lotta people out there searching for houses. But they say a big communal lie to our face and we're expected to say oh yes! The war hasn't destroyed our resources. I just hate bold-faced lies spoken to me as if I'm an idiot. -C --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It is only going to get worse as the confirmation hearings for Roberts begin.
