The point is...I see you keep pointing fingers...and I feel sorry for the d*mn fools who are in your sights! Jesus, who would have any clue of the epic this storm turned out to be and the chaos it left behind? Calling Ms. Cleo...
Catagory 5...true. Evil monster Catagory 5 which killed thousands...who would have known?
So I'm not going to point fingers at the Gov. of MS or any single person...sh*t happens and now we have to deal with what is left behind.
If you REALLY want to place blame...let's put it on those damn fools who decided it would be cool to build a major city in a fish bowl!!!

Let's blame the people who built NO in a fish bowl?
Go back and read the editorial by the Times-Picayune earlier in this thread about why NO was built where it was. And then study some geology. The ground on which NO was built sank because it was built on soft soils deposited by the Mississippi River, which was diverted and dammed and modified for flood control and cheaper shipping concerns. If the river had been left alone, the city would have been destroyed, but the floods would have replenished the soil and rebuilt the level of the ground.
Damn those people in the 1700s and their lack of sophisticated 20th Century geological knowledge!!!
