How is it the governments fault? It's the governments fault for peoples stupidity?
The government has nothing to do with this. The city of New Orlean is the one at fault. They are the morons for building on a FLOOD PLAIN!
Sure, the government is faulty in some things. But trying to blame them for mother nature telling idiots, "Hey look man. I'm going to show you guys that i'm not going to be taken lightly. Here is one big ass mother:censored:ing hurricane that is going to flood your damn city!" is just plain ludicris!
IT'S NOT THE GOVERNMENTS FAULT FOR PEOPLES STUPIDITY!
And don't try to blame ANYTHING on the government that has to deal with this. They did what they could. Which was alert the people, and tell them to evacuate.
So don't try to blame this on anyone but the dumb wonderful friends who were warned, clear back in the old days, that it would be a mistake to build on a mother:censored:ing flood plain!
And I just re-read what you said S.T.A.R.S, and that is as arogent as you can get.
You're blaming the government for underestimating something that wasn't even a big storm? (The huricane wasn't even categorized as a big one) That is true arogence right there.
It is not their fault that they took the facts and "Under prepared" for a "cataclysmic" event. People

up. Whipty do! Don't try to blame the very element that makes it so you can talk blam on people and get away with it.
You tell everyone here that we take our freedoms for granted? Seems like you're taking them for granted waaaaay more then anyone else here. You have the decency to talk blam on the government when they "under prepared"?
Oh the arogence of some. And even the ignorance.
Please. Tell us all this "list" that you have seemed to compile about how it is the governments fault. I bet all the members here would just love to hear what you have to come up with.
I sure would.
And if you ask me why the sudden sticking up for the government when I would always dog on it.
One phrase: The President is the bad one, not the GOVERNMENT (I.E. House of Representatives, and the Senate) The Senate is actually trying to do something about the gas prices. That makes my views on this country go up more then they used to be.
It touches me that some people actually care about the middle class unlike the CEO SHOULD be doing....

Mayor of New Orleans tells citizens they MUST leave the city, Governer of the state saying they don't have to. This creates a problem, small police force trying to get poeple out, national gaurd not doing anything
. NOW we are finally forcing people out, but some people call this un-american.
Not using the 100+ public buses to transport people out of city before the hurricane hit, now all those buses are happily swiming in lake New Orleans
Bush had to tell the Mayor and Governer to evac people out of New Orleans, Bush primarily caused all the good changes you see, Mayor and Governer sluggish and unresponsive to the needs of what proper hurricane procedure and reaction is. Finally Bush does something right, even though when he arrived he was days late, but that doesn't mean he wasn't communicating efforts while the governer and mayor sat back....
Also, I feel its safe to say that if you rely on the government too much, you will be disappointed. Also people simply couldn't leave becuase they were old and didn't have cars or etc.... Also, there have been hurricane warnings and scares for YEARS, many people beleived this hurricane was going to miss and/or the levees would hold..
