Agreed. New Orleans, with it's "bowl" location etc.. should've been wiped out a long time ago when it was a simple colonial settlement. Or even before that, it should've just been a "no-go" area in general where you just don't want to start up a settlement. Like survival of the fittest or something, the city should have never made it to the level of where it is now (which is, quite a big developed city)
Read the history.. then you might understand the importance of the location. Even today 90 percent of our nations domestic oil and natural gas comes from the coast of LA.

That's what people don't get when they decide to stay behind. If there is a mandatory evac EMT's will not come in after you for anything.

They didn't realize the city was sinking when it was founded. As the strategic and financial importance grew so did the population and real estate became a premium. Today people arrogantly believe that they can fight back a storm with the power of 500,000 Hiroshima type atomic bombs.

So if you think about it, looting is a good thing.
The sad thing is that you are serious.

Looters are subhuman PoS..  Looters should be shot on sight.. Who the fuck care if a TV is wasted?? Did you pay for it? Is it yours?  No so don't take it away.

Stealing food is a litle more acceptable but if you are stupid enough to not have some kind of food reserve for at least a week in your home you deserve what you get.

Never let anyone take your guns away from you..  Its in that kind of situation that they are mostly needed.

If you are the kind of guy who could take advantage of a disaster to steal shit, you probably don't have money to get out of your country so i'm not worried.

A contributing factor has been that over time the wetlands that acted as a buffer, have been reduced..I guess due to leveeing off the river?

This explains it better than I can

In any case, I find it sad that the place is sorta doomed, it had a lot of history and character, even though it also has had severe crime and poverty problems..

Doomed? Maybe not. I've seen some cool things regarding "saving New Orleans". Last night I was watching Project Earth and they were focusing on replanting the mangroves along the bayou's. I wouldn't discount future innovation and technology. Especially when terraforming mars is on the table . New Orleans, like many other places, will of course always be susceptible to the wrath of subtropical storms.

Who knows what the future could bring.

I hope you are right. It seems hard to imagine that a city that's still recovering from 2005, is going to be able to take
another hit like that.

Venice is a beautiful place, but I hear it is sinking also.

I was in LA two weeks after Katrina. Believe it or not NO's was actually on the weaker side of the storm then. That is not the case with Gustav (the fastest winds will be on the right side)... this could be really bad.

I honestly hope Gustav fizzles or veers off..

About Venice, I was referring to parts of it that aren't supposed to be underwater : )

This should show the utter incompetence of Nagin. Many of these measures were ones he could have and should have taken before Katrina.

But it's all Bush's fault for not violating federal law by sending in aid before the state asks for it.
