What are your thoughts on Hurricane Katrina?

It sucks

The Big One hit New Orleans and it was only its outer edge. Had that bad Katrina went directly over New Orleans it would have been a whole lot worse. In essense, what those folks need to do is turn New Orleans into a large trash dump and haul in a mountains mass so as to build up its height relative to sea level. Fill that soup bowl in and rebuild come then. It's wasted money with all those levees and the like. It'd make a good land-fill project and then a Category 5 Storm would be but a chuckle. LOL, they would be high and dry!

As a natural disaster, it was terrible. However, it's destructive power pales in comparison to the ineptness, and downright ignorance of the response to it. From the police chief in New Orleans to the president of the United States, it clearly showed how unprepared we really are. It is shameful that American citizens died waiting for help from the government that we trusted. Even worse than that was witnessing the finger pointing and *** covering of these politicians WHILE these people were suffering, starving, and dying of injuries and disease. We degenerated to a third world country in that short period of time. The most powerful, technologicly advanced country on earth, and those few with the power to help these people turned their backs on them, and still turn their backs on them today.

I feel for those people. However we can not control the weather. I think God allows things like this to wake up america.

That's awful.

But I think that those children will soon forget. Kids are often resilient like that.
