Hey 
Basically i’d like to hear your views on the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina.
Any views, facts, personal stories or anything concerning the way the American Government handled the disaster would be appreciated.
I’ve not asked this question to start arguments, i’d just like to hear other people’s views on the situation.
Thanks if you answer
I saw the people on the roof tops and knew that there would be trouble. I never expected it to be as bad as it was. I remember Brian Williams reporting at the end of day 2, in weighters up to his thighs, looking around and saying, "And I still don’t see the National Guard."
Those people on the roof tops were almost all black. W and Cheney, et al, saw that and thought, "Well, no votes for us there," and dragged their feet.
Racial prejudice from the right reared its big, ugly head. Anyone could see it coming, but it disgusted me nevertheless. New Orleans, once the most uniquely American city, is still today America’s shame.

Why didn’t the Governor call the national guard right away? This is why this stuff happens. No one maintains critical structures as they should. Lets see. Bridge collapse in Minneapolis,MN. There is a bunch of six figured income morons who inspect stuff and don’t care. Then people die and now its a problem. Keep the structure up to date and inspect them like you should. Fix it if it needs to be done. No voting just fix.
