Greetings! First time post - I had to get into this discussion.

What amazes me is that everyone seems to be ignoring the laws of Physics here - that water seeks the lowest point.

When the levees break, the water is going to go to the lowest point. If the poor people's houses are at the lowest point, they get flooded. If the rich people's houses are at the lowest point THEY get flooded. You can't save rich people by flooding poor people, unless they are on opposite sides of the levee. When they are all sitting in the same bowl (below sea level), the low ground gets flooded, up to the level of the water, and the high ground stays dry. It ain't rocket science. I am amazed that anyone gives ANY credence to these conspiracy theories....

These conspiracy theories are mostly just ways to Bash Bush. They really don't believe them, but they get the extreme leftist wackos worked up who WILL believe these theories.

The only problem with giving credence to all of these theories is that one day soon, the Leaders of the Lefties will lose control of the extremists. DU makes up a new conspiracy every day. They will use ANYTHING that they find on the internet as proof, even if they wrote it themselves and then linked to it.

Excellent point...also, it seems rather silly for the "Government" to have blown up a levee to flood those poor sections of New Orleans (...amazing that houses with 4 floors and huge sky windows are considered poor...but I digress). Anyway, the "Government" floods these houses so that for the next few days the Coast Guard & Army,Navy,Marine,Air Force helicopters (and bass boats of private citizens via Fish & Wildlife) can be used as mass transit instead of buses. Very cost efficient of Mayor Nagin & Blanco to defer the expense of diesel & aviation fuel to the Federal Government & private taxpayers.
