Ouch! I didn't Think I had the exchange on the list I sent that to, I
just thought it was
interesting and thought I sent it to the family list.
I never said one way or another my opinion of that statement.
But I will say I am totally surprised in how many people will
verbally attack some one they think might have different view
of what they believe.
anyway that statement that was sent to me was supposed to go to family
who would have gotten a lol out of it, oh well sorry.

[RCSE] WHO IS RESPONSIBLE ?

2005-09-22 Thread GordySoar



Yup!  Its me as usual.
 
I am responsible for lots of things, like JoJo taking wood at the 
Nationals.  A couple of guys getting the Pike Giant wings, me completing 
LSF 4, Acapulco for having clean sand on their beaches, same for Los Angles, 
Graham hiding his string, and Visalia being the most fun and prestigious RC 
event in the world.
 
A couple of other things too but I forgot what they were cuz of the CA 
fumes collecting in my motel room here just south of Minneapolis on the way to 
Milwaukeeyep working on a sailplanewas gonna spend the time thinking 
about some really important natural disaster...but decided to work on a 
sailplane instead.
 
What sailplane are YOU working on tonite? (while watching the series 
premier of Smallville, eating chicken wings :-)
 
Lets see who can be Gordy tonite :-)

Ken,

Pull your head out of your arse and look at this thing with a little reality.  
Everybody involved played a role in the fiasco down there.  If it was so much 
the Local Governments responsibility, then I wonder why the Federal Government 
is so heavily involved this time with Rita approaching Texas.  Could it have 
anything to do with what state our Village Idiot (oops I mean President) is 
from?  I would like to hope not, but I do believe it does.  The Federal 
Government could have just as easily staged for Katrina as they have for Rita, 
if they had not had there heads buried in their respective arses as well.  

See Ya,

Re: [RCSE] WHO IS RESPONSIBLE ?

2005-09-22 Thread Lee Estingoy

Your analysis is just wrong.  Wrong to be on the list, and wrong otherwise.

As with ANY political fiasco, there are many facets to the story.  Unless 
you know most, you are simply not qualified to comment.  Simply sitting your 
___ in front of FOX does not make you qulified in the least to comment, 
although it might make you slightly more informed than the morons you are 
rooting for.


1. Undoubtedly everybody screwed up.
2. This was actually a successful evacuation.  You should go back and 
research the recent efforts for the near-miss events of the past 3 or 4 
years.
3. I doubt you know anything about the legal responsibilities of the the 
levee districts and their co-ordination with the US A Corps of Engineers. 
Stifle your comments unless you know the truth.  Your knowledge of the the 
casino is wrong.
4. The Bush administration has been exposed for it's incompetence and 
willingness to appoint "Nothingburgers" to office.  I offer Chertoff, Brown, 
as well as Rice, maintaining Tenet, etc. For more, see the articles in the 
papers today about their appointment for the head of the morph that used to 
be Immigration.  A 36 year old lawyer woman who hasn't held a single job for 
more than 24 months...  See also "unfunded mandates" such as no child left 
behind, and perhaps even that little reported event - IRAQ as examples of 
foresight and leadership.
5. Regardless of how the locals screwed up, the feds are part of the plan to 
get relief in after the storm.  The locals had supplies for what was planned 
for, the feds and likely the state, dropped the plan.
6. Compare with the Bush administration's masterful handling of the looting 
in Baghdad in the hours and days after the "victorious" conqueration(?) of 
Iraq.
7.  The only thing that was missing from that idiot's speeches in and around 
New Orleans in the aftermath was a declaration that he was waiting for the 
people of New Orleans to draft a new constitution.
8.  You fail to mention what part of the country you call home.  Thank your 
lucky stars and hug your baby, say a prayer that YOU aren't reliant on the 
FEDS for relief from a catastrophy.  You simply have no idea of the scope of 
the disaster down there.
9. Once the US military was finally tasked to deal with things, amazing 
stuff started to happen.

10.  Leadership DOES NOT EXIST in the EXECUTIVE branch.

BTW, I was a resident of New Orleans for 35 of the past 39 years.  My family 
made it out OK, they lost 6 of 9 houses.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE


In case you aren't familiar with how our government is SUPPOSED to work:



The chain of responsibility for the protection of the citizens in New
Orleans is:
1. The Mayor
2. The New Orleans director of Homeland Security (a political
appointee of the Governor who reports to the Governor)
3. The Governor
4. The Head of Homeland Security
5. The President

What did each do?

1. The mayor, with 5 days advance, waited until 2 days before he
announced a mandatory evacuation (at the behest of the President).
Then he failed to provide transportation for those without transport
even though he had hundreds of buses at his disposal.

2. The New Orleans director of Homeland Security failed to have any
plan for a contingency that has been talked about for 50 years. Then
he blames the Feds for not doing what he should have done. (So much!
for political appointees)

3. The Governor, despite a declaration of disaster by the President 2
DAYS BEFORE the storm hit, failed to take advantage of the offer of
Federal troops and aid. Until 2 DAYS AFTER the storm hit.


4. The Director of Homeland Security positioned assets in the area to
be ready when the Governor called for them

5. The President urged a mandatory evacuation, and even declared a
disaster State of Emergency, freeing up millions of dollars of federal
assistance, should the Governor decide to use it.

Oh and by the way, the levees that broke were the responsibility of
the local landowners and the local levee board to maintain, NOT THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
The levee board had extra money so they bought a casino and a jet
airplane to travel around in.
The disaster in New Orleans is what you get after decades of corrupt
(democrat) government going all the way back to Huey Long.
