** Another note: for those talking about the levy system... gov't funding has been cut there for the past 5-10years for projects such as that. How can you fix something you have no money for??? This is a known gov't problem that has never been resolved now 1000's must die b/c assholes in DC rather spend 1 billion dollars a day in Iraq.

okay well, then you are gonna have to blame PEOPLE too, because they destroyed the natural levy system, the marshlands.


I read that article....and having lots of family from Louisiana and visiting the area at least 3 times a year....I can say that the people are doing it to themselves...acting crazy and somehow got the notion if they cause more trouble and uprising that help will come sooner.

look at Mississippi....look at Long Beach....completely wiped off the map, yet the surviors arent raping, killing, or shooting at anyone....look at gulfport, a VERY seedy area because of those casinos, yet you dont see any violence going on.

I love Louisiana with all my heart, it's where I have spent summers as a kid and where I learned to fish and crab trap. but when you cross over the i-10 from Slidell, the area is the ghetto...the people tend to do what they want, and it never mattered how many police patroled. So now that they are hot, tired, and hungry, they can just do whatever they want? They can just randomly attack SAR volunteers to take their supplies and run off? they can just randomly blame the GOVT for not doing enough....

facts are facts, they placed themselves in danger....and at this point, the GOVT is doing what it can, it might be slow, and it might not be what everyone wants....but at least it's getting done.

I talked to one of my cousins and he said the people of Slidell/St Tammany Parish are happy that the i-10 bridge is out, because they knew if it was up, chaos and trouble would flow over....

I'm going off subject, but alot of us dont know whats going on and only getting our info from the media....which can be good and bad...because they only show what they want us to see.
