People are still dying in New Orleans but politicians and political whores are already talking about rebuilding the city. I heard some jackass talking about how offensive it was that a senator had stated he was dubious about rebuilding New Orleans.
Are you f**king kidding me? The damn city was built in a bowl below sea level, the people who lived there either knew that or should have, and the government of the city certainly was well aware of the potential for exactly what is happening today.
If New Orleans is rebuilt, then I say a) New Orleans should pay with no federal or state help and b) people who live in New Orleans should have to sign a form stating that they understand the next time the city floods no one is coming to help.
Of course, this will not happen, because we live in a nation of half-blind idiots who are breeding faster than the forward thinkers that keep the wheels of civilization greased.
Methinks the New Orleans tragedy was the first of many to come in my lifetime.
Rebuilding New Orleans in the same place will probably happen, and when it does, I’ll be reminded of someone I know about, who was told that if she kept smoking, she would die in six months. She died with a cigarette in her mouth.
