    Default And All This Time.........

    .........I thought that they were flooded because they lived on the coast BELOW SEA LEVEL!

    These officials have to have someone to blame...anyone but themselves...

    I remember watching on the news and it must have been h*ll on wheels to work in those conditions.

    Now what does being below sea level have to do with flooding during a Hurricane? I think some one is trying to obscure the welfare state reality with truth. Shame on you

    Not to worry Winnie, a significant portion of those that were flooded had not worked in generations, so the work conditions did not bother them .

    You guys are so cynical. That was a judge's decision. It's not politicians we have to fear. It's all that legalese.

    It is certainly the government's fault that she chose to live below sea level surrounded by tidal water.

    They need to add the state and local officials, to the feds, that embezzled a lot of the money or used it for other stuff.

    They need to add the Mayor. I better stop there, before my blood pressure goes sky high. Anyways, yeah, it is definitely the Corps of Engineers fault. It is their fault for not flooding the town BEFORE the hurricane. And, it is their fault for not leaving it flooded.

    Well, I think anyone who chooses to live in an area that is repeatedly hit by natural disasters is a moron.

    But, I did read where they knew for years that the levees were not in good shape and that this would happen. The city made the choice not to do the repairs because they didn't want to spend the money.
    "I enjoy surviving." Yes, well I certainly hope so as the other side of that is "DEATH!"

    Melt away. That would just give me an excuse to move further west. Western NC has beautiful mountains!
