> New Orleans tragedy: The 17th street levee was bombed
28 December 2005, 08:57
Let’s talk about moving. One week before the hurricane hit New Orleans I was on vacation, in Latin America, in my hotel room with my girlfriend, as we watched the National Weather Service, you know, the National Weather Service, one arm of the Government that "killed" all the po’ folks in New Orleans, repeatedly warn of a large storm coming and urging, in no uncertain terms, that people leave the city. Lovely tica said to me "Will the people leave?" and I said "No, because Americans are fat, lazy, stupid, and depend on handouts from the same government they revile so often." Sure enough, the fools stayed, even though most of the, now dead, fools knew that their city was, for the most part, 6 to 8 feet below sea level. Levees break every year all along the Mississippi River, I know, I’ve seen them go and they make an incredible boom when thousands of tons of water crash through them; think of the explosive force required to punch through hundreds of tons of concrete and/or earth. Yet, the pandering politicians of Washington allowed fools to offer testimony that they "heard the explosions" as the government blew up the levees. There are plenty of conspiracies out there, but this isn’t one of them. The po’ folks in my town see government boogeymen everywhere, but on the first of the month, when the government boogeyman called mailman brings them their disability, social security, and other checks---they are the only ones outside on their porches waiting to greet the representative of the oppressive totalitarian state. If the check ain’t there, dey be callin’ da man and raisin’ such a fuss! Fact is, if the people had left like the government told them to, a lot of problems would never have happened. They stayed, since the levees had held up until then through the years, but this time they didn’t. The fools in New Orleans played the odds and they LOST—similar to what happens to people on the east coast sometimes when they have "hurricane parties" as the storm hits. As for leaving, well, let me say this to the social apologists, if I was 75 and in a wheel chair, I could still cover a lot of miles in 7 days. At the very least, I would have the sense to TRY and leave and, hopefully, the dumb bunnies in New Orleans who are still alive, through luck and not intelligence, will know next time to listen to their oppressive totalitarian government when a huge storm shows up on radar screens. Case closed.
