[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] <blockquote>"It SHOULDA been enough warning for people to LEAVE the area too, but we see how well that happened. It reminds me of the people that lived around Mt. Saint Helens that refused to leave when they were warned that an eruption was imminent. 'AH, I've lived here all my life and nuttin' ain't happened'. A short time later that philosophy was quickly incinerated."</blockquote> See, I thought the same thing at first, too. Except, as it turns out, when they order a "mandatory evacuation" of a city, they don't actually evacuate people. Granted, there were surely some people who could have gotten out who chose not to. But, all the people who didn't have any transportation, all the people who were sick or feeble, including those who were in the hospitals... They were all left behind. <blockquote>"NOBODY was prepared for this disaster."</blockquote> They should have been, though. That's the thing. The feds are standing around saying "Oh, man, a hurricane hit, [i]and[/i] the levees broke? Who could have possibly imagined [i]that[/i] would ever happen?" Only EVERYONE, fuckwits. <blockquote>"What pisses me off more, is that we can't get food, water, & help there, but we can sure get a bunch of idiot news reporters in. Yeah, THAT'S really helping things."</blockquote> Well, the reporters are helping. They're making sure the public knows wat a complete and total clusterfuck this whole thing is. Otherwise, the government would just be saying "oh, yeah, everything's A-okay, hunky-dory, yep", and we wouldn't know any better. As for why we can't get help there... It's because [URL=http://constructiveinterference.blogspot.com/2005/09/local-failure-caused-by-fema.html]FEMA won't let them in[/URL]. [/QB][/QUOTE]
