New Orleans is really stupid.
Who would build a city near the
sea and below sea level?
Then who would be dumb enough to
rebuild it in the same place after nature had obliterated it?
How about San Francisco, Mexico City and all of crazy Florida! The point is that simple, rational thinking is seldom found in the human animal. A disaster does nothing to improve human intellectual prowess. It's both astonishing and discouraging, but the squid is smarter than the people. The worst storm, the most destructive natural disaster to occur in our lifetimes obliterated the Gulf coast of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. New Orleans and many other towns and cities were utterly destroyed. Who knows how many folks died? The National Guard which should have rushed to the scene, couldn't. The idiot you folks elected as your president had sent them on an idiotic war in Iraq. They were killing and being killed instead of saving American lives. Looters came out in droves like sea gulls pecking through the flotsam of the destruction. People were drowning as the water rose into the attics where thay took their last refuge. Babies died in refugee centers, old folks' bodies washed around city streets. With tens of thousands of people missing and dying, no water, no food, no power, no fuel, the geniuses in charge of the disaster areas followed President Bush's idiotic orders. They quit the search and rescue of survivors. They turned their scant resources to stopping the looters. Is that dumb or what? But for people who build their city below sea level, what can to expect? No one can approve of looting, but it's a trivial matter when 90,000 square miles and thousand of lives have been erased. It amounts to little more than trash-picking. The loot was unsalvageable and unwanted. It was mice nibbling on a corpse. Most of what was looted was the necessities of life, the trifles needed for children, women and men to survive in the flood, fire, devastation and despair of total civil collapse. Most of what was being "stolen" were the kinds of things that the National Guards would be distributing for free if an egotistical, idiot hadn't sent them half-a-world away to kill someone else's children and women and men. Some of the stuff that was looted was not "necessities." It was the stuff of our modern society, clothes, electronics, beer, diapers; the kinds of things that people, especially poor people, want; the kinds of things that merchants spend billions of dollars making us crave and think we need. If each looter stole $1000 in goods, the net "lost" wouldn't amount to twenty five million dollars, the price of one destroyed casino, an incidental, inconsequential "loss." In reality, it wouldn't be a loss at all. The stolen property would be trashed, discarded and abandoned. It could and would never actually be offered for sale after the disaster. In point of fact, the natural disaster had made all the property refuse. People weren't so much looters or thieves as scavengers, trying to get something desirable out of tragedy. But, to idiots like Bush and the fools who rebuild their town 24 feet below their neighboring lake, property, even trash, is more important than people. Cops and such rescue personnel as were available, quit looking for lost people and started looking for lost TV sets and designer jeans. Bush's Department of Homeland Security did what all great secret police forces do in police states, it turned against the citizens. For days the absurd mammoth stood around with its thumb up its ass. It wasn't there to help or to save or to serve. The Bush Homeland Security Department is there to kill and harm and to imprison. People and businesses gave millions of dollars to help the victims of the disaster, but not the big oil companies. They didn't donate a penny out of a hundred dollars of their enormous profits. For them, Bush's criminal friends in big oil, Katrina was a God sent financial windfall. Prices of gas, oil, heating fuel and all petroleum products went through the roof. The crooks in big oil could now blame the storm for the prices. What's a lie to Bush and the big oil companies he serves? It's part of the Bush presidential legacy, that and a million and a half more people in poverty while the rich have never had it so good. Tens of thousands of home were lost, hundreds of thousands of jobs, highways, bridges, businesses and, worst of all, thousands of lives. What do the idiots care about? looters! The plight of the human species is to be dumber than dog-barf and to put even bigger fools into positions of authority over us. I suggest we don't give a dime to the relief of Katrina's victims. Make the big oil companies and the Republicans pay the bill for a change.
