I'm an outlander who is shaking his head over various infrastructure and preparedness evaluations : though our government is showing no better result. Talk is not only cheap, if it only consists of platitudes the end result will be bitter indeed.<BR/>Excuse me if I find no reason to think money spent abroad on unsuccessful endeavours ( except as a source for graft )could not have been used at home to better effect.<BR/>Unfair ? NOLA is not as ready for a storm as it was before Katrina. It is not alone in coastal concerns.opithttp://opit.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694373431905654812.post-59723420517860265892007-08-04T09:54:00.000-05:002007-08-04T09:54:00.000-05:00I was talking to my daughter, who lives in England, just before I opened your blog. She was asking what was happening in the aftermath of this disaster. I told her that rescue workers were trying to uncover the bodies of the missing, and policitians were trying to cover their asses. <BR/><BR/>Goddammit indeed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694373431905654812.post-75398577798953259892007-08-03T21:46:00.000-05:002007-08-03T21:46:00.000-05:00Got to agree with the old geezer about the politics. I just emailed him a bit about the Democratic Senator from Minnesota who seems to think its Bush's fault, as well. Its stupid to try to asses blame on politicians. Most I know have no knowledge of engineering.<BR/><BR/>Also have to agree with anonymous.<BR/><BR/>Let's get the people out and fix the bridge. Political posturing in this situation is ridiculous.The South Plainsmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12073652975723189745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694373431905654812.post-58543209134239144552007-08-03T16:35:00.000-05:002007-08-03T16:35:00.000-05:00Never before have so many said so much about everything being the presidents fault. I am not happy about everything he has done but to place the blame for New Orleans and now the bridge collapse on his "leadership" is like blaming George Phenix for letting Ruby shoot Oswald. After all he was there!!<BR/>The people of this country need to hitch up their britches and rely on their work ethics rather than think everything is the governments responsibility, no matter who is PresidentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694373431905654812.post-71438207745729241662007-08-03T11:51:00.000-05:002007-08-03T11:51:00.000-05:00I am certain the citizens of the Twin Cities are comforted by the visit of "W", given the outstanding job he did in making New Orleans whole.
