And a few are being saved. The ones that really want to leave will go,
the ones too pig headed to abandon NOLA will remain no matter how many
pretty white folk knock on the door and tell them to go. A month from
now the clean up crews will find dead people who were alive just a week
before, but refused to leave.
IIRC, NOLA was a cesspool swamp before it was a city. It is just
reverting to what nature had planned for it and some fool decided he
was smarter than mother nature. Build a city by a volcano, better not
be surprised if you get buried in ash. Build under water in a river
delta, same results. Put your house in a flood plain, expect to get
wet. Build in a dry woodland area, going to catch fire. Go to war,
expect soldiers to die. This stuff is not rocket science! Common
sense tells you to not do some things, if you chose to ignore the
facts, you pay the price. If you are dumb enough to go to Vegas,
expect to lose your shirt, but do not dare snivel to me about how I
should bail your silly ass out for your own stupid gamble that you may
not lose it all.
From having gone through a hurricane Charley, I can tell you that it
may be a fun ride, but it is a heck of a bunch smarter to get the hell
out while you still can

Gee, why don't you tell us how you really feel?
The fact is, there are a lot of people who are dead, dying or soon to
die.
While everyone points fingers the rest of us are high and dry with full
bellies. Are you saying we should just let them all rot in a cesspool
that
used to be a city?
Surely a few might be worth saving............
