The most egregious example of this is that apparently there was absolutely no plan in place to evacuate those who were incapable of evacuating themselves, such as those in hospitals and who were bedridden. Those capable of fleeing who chose not to have no right to complain, IMHO.

The odd part is that the hurricane actually missed New Orleans. Had it hit dead center, all the people we have been watching on the tube would have been dead.

The same amount of water we see now, plus 20 or more feet of storm surge above that, plus waves and high winds. Few if any survivors.

Actually there was a plan, it was just not carried out: see this thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1477374/posts.

I've been saying all along that the percentage of those who couldn't leave might be greatly exceeded by the percentage that wouldn't leave.
