I will never forget the pictures of the city buses and school buses just flooded in their parking lots...
I suppose DHS, FEMA or Bush were supposed to go get those buses and fill them up before the hurricane got there...
If that had happened...there would have been screaming from all sorts of groups....especially if the hurricane didn't hit NO...
Besides...why have a mayor or Governor if the FEDERAL government is supposed to be responsible for everything?
Wasn't it just today the FEMA director said that he was on the phone with NO officials and they never told him there were 25,000 people in one of the convention centers? It was a place that wasn't designated a shelter but people forced their way into it.
I've never seen such ineptitude in my entire life. Ever.
Interesting story from a Reuters article this afternoon:
"HOUSTON - In the last week, Joseph Brant lost his apartment, walked by scores of dead in the streets, traversed pools of toxic water and endured an arduous journey to escape the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in his hometown New Orleans.
On Sunday, he was praising the Lord, saying the ordeal was a test that ended up dispelling his lifelong distrust of white people and setting his life on a new course. He said he hitched a ride Friday in a van driven by a group of white folks.
“Before this whole thing I had a complex about white people; this thing changed me forever,” said Brant, 36, a truck driver who, like many of the refugees receiving public assistance in Houston, Texas, is black.
“It was a spiritual experience for me, man,” he said of the aftermath of a catastrophe al Qaida-linked Web sites called evidence of the “wrath of God” striking an arrogant America.
Brant was one of the evacuees across Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi who gave thought to religion Sunday, almost a week after the floods changed their lives, perhaps forever."

Some evacuees see religious message in Katrina
why not just have a massive federal bueracracy that has planners for us all from a central location and appoints ministers for all the cities and states, they may or may not know the geography, economy or the demography of any one particular location, but it would be far more efficient... Wouldn't it? That is what the liberals want. Remind you of anything?
