> New Orleans tragedy: The 17th street levee was bombed

First of all this is rediculous but lets say for a moment that it did happen. Wouldn’t it make sence to save the more expensive homes. The poor homes were in shambles before the storm. The flood has ruined them even further. They will have to be torn down. The "GOVERNMENT", me and the rest of the tax paying people in this country will be paying to rebuild new homes for the non-working uneducated poor.
Saving Bourbon Street also would have made sense (enven though it is on the highest ground in New Orleans) because that area raises alot of the money (taxes) that it will take to repare the damage done by the hurricane.

If for no other reason but to keep the rebuilding cost down. Its cheaper to rebuild small homes than big ones.

If the Superdome had been filled with middle class or upper class people none of these crimes of rape and murder would have ever occurred. This isn’t a race issue at all it is a class issue. The people that do little or nothing to help them selves. Just rely on the Government for their existance. "I don’t need an education the government sends me my money" I have heard it many times. Remember broke is a temperary economic condition that hard work can conquer, poor is a way of life. People that don’t try to better them selves, don’t take advantage of all the chances they are given to make their life better. Take the easy way sell drugs, take drugs, loot, basically anything so they don’t have to work.
