see that's the fucking problem...."cost effective this cost effective that ......" i can't stand it. it's always the same situation in just about every natural disaster when they occur and wreak havoc on the public. the city didnt plan for the worst case scenario and now people are dead.

it's like sending troops off to war, spending a projected trillion of or tax payer dollars , and the troops arent even properly protected in the vehicles they drive. sorry , i digress.

there should be no expense when it comes to the protection of life. it's like sending a police officer off too a shootout with toilet paper wrapped around his chest 'cause "HEY!! it's fucking "cost effective".

city officials: never mind our taxed citizens are floating around our....."hey, wasnt that john from bourbon street that just floated by ?? he always paid taxed on time, too bad.." we saved a bunch of money with that ill-designed levee we built.

i'm giving serious thought of going down when rebuilding begins so that i can lend a hand. nevermind school when that time comes.
