Re: Hurricane Katrina
There are natural disasters that occur all across the country. Hurricanes are only one. Frequently entire cities are flooded out in Minnesota and North Dakota during the spring floods from melting snow. Of course, there are far fewer fatalities because people are apparently a lot less stupid around these parts.
I make no apologies for being blunt. When we're told that an area is going to be flooded, that a major blizzard is on its way or we're going to be hit by a tornado, we take shelter somewhere safer.
Hurricane Katrina caused massive destruction for sure, and the size of the storm caused a much larger area to be affected than most other natural disasters, but the loss of life and much of the damage could have been avoided if people weren't being so stupid prior to the storm and during it.
As far as the racism card... it's the most overplayed card in the United States today, and I agree, I'm getting sick and tired of hearing it.
