The other thing that bothers me are the leading questions that the reporters are asking the people about the government's involvement.


First of all,

EVERYONE wants less government, but when there is a disaster everyone sits back and waits for the government to step in.

The 72 million dollars to the Army Corps of Engineers would not have done one bit of good.

The time, dirt and dollars it would take to update the levee system in that area would have taken years to complete.

You do not know where a hurricane, tidal surge, tornando or ?
will strike until it actually hits. So even making the gulf states a disaster area TWO DAYS before the hurricane hits didn't make too much difference.

Local disaster agencies operate on totally different sets of rules-
IN cah lee fuh nee ah we have some flooding and earthquakes, we don't particularly have a hurricane or snow fall plan in out books.

The media is hyping this event in a real "shock news" way.

They really need the viewers.
