[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Junctionfan</i> <br /><br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by farmer03</i> <br /><br />bla bla. bla bla bla bla. everyone's an expert after the fact. <br /> <br />if the great masses down in that region weren't molded into dependency to sustain life, they might have been a little more motivated to help themselves thereby avoiding this entire mess. incompitance of the officials is only half the problem. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />How the hell is anybody down there supposed to do anything without the money? Without money, the poor folk can't do squat except pray they don't get into the path of the crap fan. <br /> <br />New Orleans isn't that wealthy of a city. The kind of funding to keep things going is a State/ Federal assistance requirment which wasn't happening to the best of their ability. <br /> <br />Look at Rotterdam, Netherlands; the only reason why they aren't another Atlantis is because of the flood gates and other flood systems. Japan is another country that has had to ignore costs and just go with the fact that it was a neccessary investment. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />what i'm saying and what Ed has said is that there are way too many 'squatters' . "help me help me gimme gimme" is what they say. the easy route they take, the low road they go. "hmm, should i get myself and my family out to safety or should i stick around hope to ride it out and go on a crime spree" <br /> <br />you really need to get thru the sugar coat on the situation Jct. fan. maybe look ahead or to the side instead of behind all the time. we know the facts, we know what has happened, we know what has been in the media. what i'm interested in are the stories such as the one Ed has posted. i'm glad that i'm in a state far enough north that we won't get many, but i'm afraid that because of IL being a sucker friendly state we'll undoubtedly get plenty.
