Do you remember 9/11? Sure do, people I KNOW died there too. And I know many that responded. But 16 blocks compared to 90,000 sq. miles.
My brother firefighters in that skank city in Louisiana were being shot at by a bunch of hoodlums. Your brother firefighters are still here working hard. Maybe your brother firefighters should help them as ours did in the aftermath of 911.
The city was built below sea level. Not my home I live on the northshore did you read my post?
The flood only brought attention to the shiathole it was and from all media reports it still is. Prepared for catastrophe? Nope we aren't. Then you should be especially as a firefighter. Isn't it now a requiste you go through FEMA training..all the firefighters I know are required. Hope you don't have a disaster in your area.
Dirty Bomb.....Death and much of it. Chemical attack..the same. Most of these people in New Orleans had a chance to get out and didn't. Your wrong over 1.5 millions people evacuated, 3 weeks later Texas couldn't evacuate Houston.
Why? 1. Lazy.....have had things done for them their whole lives. 2. Entitlement....Come get us Federal government.
3. Money Grubbing...To heck with leaving, we have welfare checks coming tomorrow. Happens all over the US. Bet you have federal subsidy in your upstate rural town.
The funny thing about it is the fact this douche bag president goes and visits. What is wrong with him? They hate them there. This dipshiat idiot Mayor rips him constantly. No man, No sympathy here. No Way!!
Sympathy...guess you really didnt read my post.

Hope your glass house never shatters. Oh that's right you as a firefighter are not prepared. And we won't have to worry about helping anyone rebuild, New York or LA or Philly, or anywhere in the US.
All I'm saying is that for a country as great as ours we should be able to handle disasters in a more efficient manner. But we are not prepared. Thankfully that is changing as a result of Katrina/Rita.
As I said I have been all over the world, I love the US, I choose to settle here near NOLA, that could change. But I still LOVE New Orleans and I miss what it used to be as I would miss New York, Philly, DC, LA, San Fran, Chicago and many other cities around this world.
Poverty is here in the US,all over the US, drug addicts exist and old people need help. If we can police and rescue the world we should do the same for our own citizens.
I'm going to watch the Saints game now.
