The Democrats are already self-destructing because of their negative hate toward Bush. Also, Hillary and Billary have created a lot of hatred within their own party. The hatred will grow like a cancer and destroy the pary. Watch the poison at work day after day in the news, until the party destroys itself. The Hollywood crowd will continue to fuel the hate.

Last I looked most transport hubs, seaports and the like are all situated ABOVE SEA LEVEL. The historical accident of NO (The leveed parts) was perpetuated by the unwillingness to recognize the mistake of the original location and move the thing 150 years ago. Now, after putting billions of dollars of assets and human capital in harms way, and having harm take it's toll bigtime, they propose to rebuild and repopulate so that this disaster can repeat itself in 50 years or so. Sheer lunacy IMHO.

Nonsense...............and it's not a matter of "severity" of hurricane impact; it's about the responsibility of the citizenry and their local governments. Now go tell the coastal Texas citizens how "unscathed" they were, slick.

You wrote: I noticed that both of these monster hurricanes were females.

Coincidence?

I don't think so.

I wrote: Those who were wiped out by Andrew and Ivan might not share your view.

My point is that the "gender" of a hurricane doesn't matter. If I misunderstood your point, which seems to indicate monster hurricanes are coincidentally "female", I'll take my lumps. If you thought I was insulting you, then I understand why you insulted me and am sorry that my reply came across that way because it wasn't meant to. As soon as I get my Solsuite upgrade taken care of, I'll work on my humor detection software. : )

Are the friends you speak of "sheep"?

No, Figment, though apparently plenty of people in this evac effort we're supposed to admire are. My friends (who live out in the Houston area) didn't go out on the freeway to sit on their butts precisely because things were such a mess. As it turned out there wasn't much need to, but boy what panic and disorder.

Now that's just nonsense. Rita was not as bad as Katrina, and when we talk about responsibility the bottom line is that nobody really took any when a lot of lives could have been saved. I'm responding to somebody trying to peddle votes out of this mess.

When springybooty made that statement it pretty much sealed the deal. Governor Blanco couldn't have said it better.

Yeah, what a tool George W. Bush was when he acknowledged federal failures and took responsibility for them. I guess that's probably why he's the president and not you.

And the same can be said for Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle (San Juan de Fuca fault), Memphis (New Madrid fault), and quite a number of other places. The argument won't fly.

First, it was meant as obvious humor. Second, for those who are humor deprived it was limited to describing "these two" hurricanes.

The author of this thread commited a logical fallacy. So instead of pointing it out and making a boring comment I used humor to highlight the absurdity of his logic.

Believe it or not, although I often post few line comments most have more thought to them than they first appear.

"So Shall It Be Written and So Shall It Be Done."
I would call the demorats the party of hatred and death.

They have no moral or ethical platform, but that of the communist party usa. Follywood (the majority)have embraced the bane of satan in their daily lives.

You have spoken the "Words of Traditional Wisdom" which will come to pass for those vessel(s) of evil.

If it was I would left you to drown in your own idiocy rather than saving your helpless ass by clueing you in on what's really happening.

. "New Orleans is FAR less "well equipped"


No, New Orleans was far less populated and had only one lane feeding into the contraflow. Houston evacuated 5 times the population of New Orleans and had traffic jams of people who are unaware of roads other than freeways and interstates. Maps are your friend. The state can't take each and every person by the hand and lead them to their destination. Texas started earlier and the people who wanted to , got out. Some much easier than others

Thank God there was not much need to.The people who flooded the main highways get no sympathy here. Texas has more roads than any other state, and most are not interstates or primary highways. Houston has a large population of people who can't avoid a daily traffic jam on the freeways on the way home from work, because all they know are the freeways. There are more ways out of Houston than most major cities in this country. The people stalled in traffic should make it a point to learn a little about the myriad Texas highway system . They would get to see some wonderful sites also if they traveled some of the less traveled roads from time to time

God Bless those brave men and women of the American Meterological Society who have to do the actual gender-check. ;^)
