to begin with, i'd like to point out that I do not support Bush. However, I cannot understand why people are blaming him for Katrina, just because he has troops in Iraq. It seems like a lame excuse to protest the war and find a scapegoat for the hurricane
so, do you think Bush is at fault for part of the Katrina ordeal? |

Of course there was no way to PREVENT the hurricane, but there are ways to PLAN AHEAD so that the situation wouldn't be as tragic and dangerous and putrid as it is right now.
I just want to barf right now and move to Canada. To be quite honest, I'm embarrassed that this is happening right now. (not the hurricane, the after math) Our country uses 1/4 of the world's oil. 25 freakin percent! tell me that isn't an insane number. we are screwed if we don't change our habits and lifestyles before it's too late. |

QUOTE(caytexo @ Sep 1 2005, 11:17 PM) Of course there was no way to PREVENT the hurricane, but there are ways to PLAN AHEAD so that the situation wouldn't be as tragic and dangerous and putrid as it is right now.  actually, i was watching the same things you were and FOX did say that there were plans but they didn't plan for this kind of devastation. they prepared for a level 3 hurricane NOT 5. This is from FOX. So, you see, they did plan, but not very well because the weather has a mind of its own. your saying that we didn't take the warnings seriously is unfair. the simulation of the hurricane was of a level 3, not 5 and we prepared for 3. QUOTE(caytexo @ Sep 1 2005, 11:42 PM) like i've been saying, this could've all been planned out days, maybe even weeks before Katrina hit. You can't just excuse the administration and say "well, they thought that it wouldn't be so severe." i believe that it's better to be safe than sorry as much as you even more so. you know, if i had thought it would be this severe when the warnings came up, i'd get my ass and my family out of there in ONE day without waiting to hear from the government. my family has done that before when warnings about el nino came up in california years ago. the fact is that people there didn't think that it would be a big deal, so they stayed. the people believed that and so did the government. government is made up of people. do you see where i'm going with this? |
