As for those who think giving money to the victims of the hurricane in the southern US, good on you. You are helping. It means those who got out aren't totally destitute.
Unfortunately it won't fix the whole problem. Nice if it were that simple.
To you or any of my fellow poor working schleps in any country, a dollar means significantly more than $10000 might to our boss.
They are the ones who started that damn war and meant the levees weren't fixed properly in the first place.
And whose grandaddies probably were the slave owners that meant these people are living (and now dying) in New Orleans anyway.
The evacuation effort would have been all the more simple if, for instance, instead of leaving dozens of buses empty at the airport, Greyhound had decided to spend a little money on fuel to evacuate people.
The cleanup effort would be much better if it were search and rescue rather than search and destroy.
Notice that the same people win at every stage here, anyone?

I'm not a victim. I choose not to be. That doesn't stop me from having to defend myself against being made one.

In this life, you are only a victim if you choose to be.

I can't tell if this is sarcastic or not, but it wouldn't matter.

I really don't know what you're getting at, but I did respond to you on my post.

How about putting and building up a city that is under sea level?
I've got a great idea...lets put the next city actually 5 miles offshore! And then, when disaster happens to the man-made island...well, we can blame the president and government again.
