If I may wade through the shit in here for a second....
Please, "wade" right in.
while the aftermath of Katrina will be a blight on Bush's legacy it also stands to mention how very incompetent Ray Nagin has been. Now, if the people keep electing him then so be it but his performance during the crisis was no better than Bush's or Brownie's. This far after the matter I don't have a lot of faith in Blanco either. There really is no point in pointing fingers at poor leadership in the white house when the dems who controlled the state and city were no more impressive. The entire affair was indicative of failure.
You, and I seem to be on the same page.
While it's necessary to help those in need it is also necessary to do so smartly while minimizing abuse of the system. I'm reminded of millionaires collecting insurance on homes built in locations that are clearly a hazard. The left doesn't seem to have a lot of sympathy for those victims of natural disasters but ant to give new orleans a blank check? who didn't know that southern LA was sitting dangerously below water level before building there? I mean, I want Madri Gras back with a vengeance too but Katrina was not the fault of those acting charitable.
Again, in complete agreement, well put.
I could make a joke comparing NO to Pompeii but I think you get my drift without having to do so.
We'll see.............
