It's three years after Katrina wrecked her havoc on New Orleans. Now her Cousin Gustav is on his way.
Maybe I missed it, but I don't remember reading that engineers built better dams or "flood blockers" for New Orleans. If I'm not mistaken, they just concentrated on the more superficial. So now, again, people are fleeing.
Three years ago, there was doubt that a flood could be all that bad, but now there's no doubt.
I'm pretty sure that it would take the bureaucrats more than three years to build a better protective system for the city, so I guess that whatever "rebuilding" which was done was a royal waste of money.
L'havdil, to differentiate, it's like all those plans for a super high replacement for New York's "twin towers," even though there are no rescue methods for people trapped in such high buildings, not matter how they're damaged, innocent fires or terrorist plane crash.
No surprise. Governments prefer sedation, rather than the hard truth.
