When I went into cardiac arrest mowing my Mom's lawn three years ago, she called 9-11 and got CPR going. That's why I'm still here. Tha's why people group together as families, tribes, states, etc., to protect.
Between the decision to not upgrade/update a levie engineers knew needed it based on race, money and ideology and a lacking response when the inevitable happened, George Bush should have to ride around in a fan-boat for overpass snipers to take pot-shots at. And Clinton should have to ride alongside. The President's Dad can drive.
If a hijacked plane broke the levy, would it take a week to figure out that it was a disaster? I mean, the press was there already, because the storm was supposed to fit American attention spans up front. What if it had been a 'dirty' bomb, making a similar area full of radioactive fall-out? Or an earthquake that busts up the best California constructions? Or a series of backouts caused by suicide truck bombers hitting power substations?

Don't say that you don't feel secure.
If you say that, the hurricaines have won.
