Lock, load, ready to go!

2.Perhaps you could explain why Oxfam and other aid groups like USAID only make air drops of food where there is local control by troops?

So much for “simplistic and juvenile”…unless you’re talking about yourself.

When you are faced with a situation of people rushing, you “overdrop” meaning you drop somewhat far away and you drop more than they need.

Every single incident analysis has shown that in the first few drops there will be rushing, hording and chaos. Then when the crowd gets the idea that more is coming, they will distribute. The strong bring extra supplies back to the weak who were unable to compete in the inital struggle.

The idea that you don’t drop water to dying people because it might cause a stampede is simplistic, and juvenille and it shows you don’t know what hell you are talking about.

“Drop water” where? At the Superdome? And have 25,000 people rush out to get it and have thousands killed in the melee?

I guess that means you want to kill all those “black people” because the death toll that would result from implementing your crackpot idea would kill more people than the hurricane ever did.

And you’re right…I’m a effing racist. Kill all the black people! Kill all the black people!

To quote that great liberal philosopher Bugs Bunny: “What a maroon!”

You may be comfortable with America being so weak we cannot evacuate or drop water to dying people in a major American city.

Maybe it’s o.k. with you because most of the people were black.

But most of us know we can do better. Hopefully before your home town has a disaster.

All governments, businesses, humans in general will make mistakes. Every time a mistake is made, the real metal of any organization or individual is how they respond and make things right. The restoration of the current disaster by all accounts is going well. The days to come will decide what America is made of. I for one think in the coming months, America will again show the rest of the world why we are the leaders of the free world and why we should continue to be the leaders of the free world.

This storm did not turn people into rapists, murderers, and gun-toting maniacs. People chose to be those things before a hurricane named Katrina came along. A five year old girl’s body was found, her tiny throat slit, in the convention center in New Orleans. Why?

This storm and the ensuing criminal chaos wasn’t created by the failure of politicians to provide food and water. Those people CHOSE to do bad things because they have hate in their hearts. The vast majority of the citizens of New Orleans who were trapped in the city killed and raped no one. There is no excuse for that type of behavior and no amount of desparation that justifies it.

With hurricanes, preparing and executing your plan is everything. Playing the odds is a losing proposition. Local governments provide the plan, shelters and the transportation for the indigent.

I doubt those that don’t live in hurricane country know what is really required and how the citizens and government should react. For those that don’t ask yourself when the earthquake strikes CA, as it did in 1989, who you gonna call — 911 or FEMA.

But you are right, hurricanes cause disasters. Those of us living in Florida are thankful Jeb Bush is governor and not some stooge from LA.

Here you go, look it up on Sen Landrieu’s own website.

Blaming Bush is so lame.
