I am watching CNN. Marc Morial, former Mayor of New Orleans, wants a national summit on Katrina, headed by GWB. BTW, the former NO Mayor is speaking from Nevada!
Hurricanes in Fla and snowstorms in the Mid-west are dealt with by the locals with some Fed assistance. But, the good folks of New Orleans who built below sea level are demanding we pay for their poor choice of location and for the corruption in their gov't that allowed the levees to be built to sub-par tolerances.
We need to re-instill personal responsibility and put charity back into the private sector. [So mobile homes for New Orleans don't end up mired in OK or some other state.]
IMHO
Sheesh, let me pull out my Katrina files. Till this day NO is incompetent. I was one of many doing the 24/7 threads on the hurricane (while searching for my family), and the other three as well. I didn't forget... and they'll be real sorry if my stuff hits the light of day.
