I would add one more to that list: the public.  From staying in the area, to looting, to shooting at rescue workers... this further led to the mess that\'s there now.

Something to chew on:

Agree\'d. The public also let us down, but at the same time, it\'s the goverments job to step up and take care of those idiots, isn\' it?

Atleast until the city is rebuilt.

I finished reading that article that THX posted. I thought it was well written and did give me a perspective of what is going on in N.O.

dudes what check and balances i always hear that and blank out

Someone answer the man...

Checks and balances is a mechanism through which the three branches of the US government prevent each other from abusing its powers. For example, the President can veto, Congress can impeach, and the Supreme Court can declare laws unconstitutional.

What they are talking about here more resembles Federalism, a concept that mandates power to be shared between the state and federal governments.

Hope that clears it up.

From what I\'ve been hearing, yes, many of them are searching for jobs. I heard on NPR today that programs are being set up to coordinate the right people to the right businesses, for example by organizing their resumes.

At least we can all agree on one thing and that it was not just one persons fault. It was a let down on both sides , local and federal. There is no way to save everyone, but a lot of people could of been saved. The problem is, both sides let the people of N.O down.

If anything, I think this shows us just how fucked our system really is. When our own President, the man leading the nation, can not use his power to save people, due to some silly laws - then what good is he really? And if we can\'t trust the federal, can we trust the state? Obviously not. Because if we could trust them, then a diaster plan would of been put into action that actually worked.

At this point in time, I\'m neither democratic or republican. Why? Because none of that matters. What am I? I\'m an American disgusted with our system and the way it handles life changing events.

Now what do we do? We have an estimated four hundred thousand jobs lost. More homeless people than we know what to do with and untelling how many dead people. What does the goverment do now?

Well spoken ! I can agree on that.

THis is why Darwinism reigns supreme.

There are only two reasons to die from this storm.

You are in bad health already, or you are one stupid mother fucker.

People getting trapped in their attics?  This family tree needs to be cut.


Water\'s wcoming, water\'s coming!!!  Let\'s go into this room where we have no way out.  Forget going out the window and climbing onto the roof.  It will be much better climbing into our dark attic where no one will be able to see us.  THen we can hang out in the dark where everyone knows how refreshing it is on a nice summer day in the south.
