Blank-O is deserving of a lot of criticism, but she does have tough choices to face, even if she is incapable of making them. First, she is governor of a state that is last in virtually every good category and near first in every bad category. The state is broke and the expenses involved in an evacution are enormous (please don't compare expenses to lives, I'm sold, just trying to point out what faces her). Second, if Nawlins is evacuated, it would take every law enforcement officer south of the North Pole to stop the looting that will take place. Third, she is dealing with the least educated people in the US who have to be told everything and rarely think for themselves.
How many people on this thread would wait for the government to tell them to protect their families?
What will the impact be to Nashville? Will it move east and miss Music City?
The looters wont have long to enjoy their loot before they drown. The last time NO was threatened with a hurricane, I read somewhere that there is a large number of low-income citizens of NO that have no access to private transportation and that public transportation is woefully inadequate for evacuation purposes.
