contacting the governors of Louisiana and Mississippi, the mayor of New Orleans and the Alabama Emergency Management Agency to emphasize the severity of Katrina. Why is it we are not hearing constant complaints and demands for more of my money from Mississippi and Alabama?

Thanks for the mash button;)
It is sobering to re-read the 2005 forecast below.
"THE BLOWN DEBRIS WILL CREATE ADDITIONAL DESTRUCTION. PERSONS...PETS...AND LIVESTOCK EXPOSED TO THE WINDS WILL FACE CERTAIN DEATH IF STRUCK.
POWER OUTAGES WILL LAST FOR WEEKS...AS MOST POWER POLES WILL BE DOWN AND TRANSFORMERS DESTROYED. WATER SHORTAGES WILL MAKE HUMAN SUFFERING INCREDIBLE BY MODERN STANDARDS.
THE VAST MAJORITY OF NATIVE TREES WILL BE SNAPPED OR UPROOTED. ONLY THE HEARTIEST WILL REMAIN STANDING...BUT BE TOTALLY DEFOLIATED. FEW CROPS WILL REMAIN. LIVESTOCK LEFT EXPOSED TO THE WINDS WILL BE KILLED."

What do you mean by that? This term has a particular meaning in government talk about approaches to doing the right thing to the best standard you have.
What does the EU have to do with it? They've been doing this a long time.

Much of the human suffering in New Orleans was not the result of a hurricane, but a levee breach. The breach occurred after the hurricane had already passed.

Certainly, but look at who was notified of the storm's impending danger and did nothing about it.
And it's only a slight tick to the left and this storm would have destroyed New Orleans with or without the levee breach....

Anything that affects the sovereignty and independence of America is of concern to me. Freedom IS life. Preserving it is the primary duty of the American citizen.

The term "Best Practices" has nothing to do with EU. It's a corporate term used to describe a series of procedures that have worked in the past and is expected to work in the future.

It originated in the UN as a way to force 'sustainable development' into every area of life through the UN's vision of social control called 'civil governance'. The EU has been promulgating it ever since.
UN-Habitat, which also gave us the 'smart growth' travesty our government is forcing on New Orleans property owners brought the term 'best practices' into the internationalist lexicon.
The Best Practices and Local Leadership Programme (BLP) was established in 1997 in response to the call of the Habitat Agenda to make use of information and networking in support of its implementation. It is a global network of government agencies, local authorities and their associations, professional and academic institutions and grassroots organisations dedicated to the identification and exchange of successful solutions for sustainable development.
No freedom loving American supports 'sustainable development' or the internationalists pushing it. FYI so you know where these unAmerican ideas are coming from. The globalists have so thoroughly infected our government and our press, hardly anyone questions anymore the crap they are pedaling. The corporatist reinterpretation of government will continue unless we Americans put a stop to it.

They have been using this term since at least the 1970s in the government. I've handled the old documents that talk about it. And they weren't the first.

Corporatist fascism is the root of the UN's 'civil governance' program, the one that is named in all our "free trade" agreements.

Best Practices are initiatives which have made outstanding contributions to improving the quality of life in cities and communities around the world. The original call for Best Practices was launched in 1995 during preparations for the Second United Nations Conference on Human Settlements (Habitat II) as a means of identifying what works in improving living conditions on a sustainable basis. For the
1996 Awards, over 700 Best Practices from 90 countries were submitted to Habitat. An independent international Technical Advisory Committee identified 105 submissions as Best Practices and six of these were selected by a jury to receive the 1996 Dubai International Award during Habitat II conference (June 1996). In 1998, the Dubai International Award attracted 470 submissions from over 80 countries. 124 submissions were selected as Best Practices and 10 initiatives were chosen to receive the Dubai International Award at a special award ceremony on World Habitat Day, 5 October 1998. In 2000 over 700 submissions from 100 countries were received with 112 being classified as Best Practices, 10 of who were selected as award winners. In 2002, 550+ submissions and updates from more than 90 countries were received with 126 being classified as best practices.
Why should US government officials do things the UN way, when the system created by our Founders is the BEST way?

Here's one from Texas:
In 1989, the Texas Forest Service established the BMP program to focus on minimizing any threats to water quality from forestry activities. The program educates landowners, loggers and foresters about the threats to water quality and provides technical assistance on how to minimize those threats through the use of non-regulatory forestry BMPs.BMP Bluebook
The BMP program also monitors BMP implementation throughout the state. Every three years, the BMP program publishes a report, Voluntary Implementation of Forestry Best Management Practices in East Texas, which describes the level at which BMPs are being implemented. The TFS is also currently conducting a study designed to measure the overall effectiveness of BMPs in Texas.

There's more. This was just the first.
