• I was in New Orleans the day after the storm hit as part of the Veterans For Peace Relief effort. We help start common ground with the money we raised from donors who read our blogs about he work we were doing. In Just three weeks we raised over $500.000.00. we used it for direct aid of food medical supplies and supporting grass roots efforts like Common Ground Relief.

  While the Red Cross refused to feed and resupply the people who could not evacuate because they had no transportation and the city did not think to help them.
  
  The effects of a levee breach were known long before the hurricane formed in the gulf. The response was to force everyone out after and given them little support to return. In my view, the last three years proves the true intentions of both city state and federal responses. They wanted the people to leave and not return because they had been living in the lower ninth for so long that the city could not make any money off of them. But with new land owners would come new taxes. It was not as simple as black and white. Although there was plenty of vigilantly -KKK killing going on in the days when the cops were either evacuating themselves and their families or too busy looting the local Walmarts and Cadillac dealerships.

• Well as sadistically true that statement might be. WHat is also true is that the City will rebuild. With or without government help. It was here long before America was founded. It will be here long after the United States collapses under it's imperial wait. In reply to: "The ignored nonrecovery of New Orleans"

• The ocean is almost a hundred miles from New Orleans. The ocean did not flood the city, the Inter coastal water way did. In reply to: "The ignored nonrecovery of New Orleans"

• Yes the storm really did hit Mississippi. It was the fact the Army Corps of Engineers build Mr. GO that caused the problems in New Orleans. And they are going to be closing it. If a similar storm comes to New Orleans after the inter coastal water way is closed the likelihood of a levee breach will be much less. In reply to: "The ignored nonrecovery of New Orleans"

• Your tax dollars are going to waste in Iraq! Over a trillion of them. Your fellow countrymen and women are being killed for lies. And you complain about your tax dollars being used to rebuild America's infrastructure. What the hell is wrong with you? In reply to: "The ignored nonrecovery of New Orleans"

• Did you know that Washington DC was a swamp before it was built? Is that worth rebuilding if it flooded? New Orleans was established long before there was a United States of America. It was the birthplace of Jazz and blues and has contributed greatly to the American way of life. You would rather have all your shrimp come from indo china? oil come from over seas? Where do you think most of America's fish and oil comes from, Texas? Wrong! It comes form Souther Louisiana! Or are you really saying the people who were most effected by the effects of building the intercoastal water way (Mr. GO) are not worth the effort? You would be wrong there too. I clear lots in the lower ninth ward for folks who are rebuilding despite ignorant statements like yours. These are the most humbal, honest people I have even met. They don't want a hand out just a hand. And people like you and in our government would rather turn there backs to the whole mess. It is sad to read such ignorants. You should be ashamed!
