BTW, I know it sounds like I hate men, I don't. I hate misogynists, whom of whom can be women.

Four Years Later
It was four years ago today at approximately 8 AM that Hurricane Katrina, a Category 5 (then 3) storm, hit the Gulf Coast. Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana were affected (as were Kentucky and Ohio because of flooding on the Mississippi River) but Alabama, Mississipi and Louisiana were the most damaged. Louisiana, more specifically New Orleans, was devastated.
And who's to blame? Mother Nature? Well, she would have been if the loss had not been rooted in human error and neglect. The hurricane was the symptom. The government was the cause. Katrina was not the reason for the damage. The water did not top the levees off Lake Pontchartrain and cause the flooding. The wind, although brutally strong did not cause the destruction of St. Bernard Parish and Lakeview and the northeastern shore from Sildell to Mandeville (although, agreed, it did major damage to downtown high-rises and the roof of the Superdome.
No, the flooding was caused by at least 53 breaches in federally-built levee system which resulted in flooding 80% of the city and the statistics mentioned above were consequences of that and inadequate planning and response from a city/county/state and government level. Canal locks failed or had not yet been repaired from being inoperable. Natural levees (berms) held but the man-made levees ruptured in 53 different locations, mostly sections that the US Army Corps of Engineers had "repaired" by putting a band-aid on where major surgery was needed. These were levees that several different investigations revealed were inferior and had design flaws. The gov't wants to blame the subcontractors but when you hire someone to do the work for you and your name is going to be on it, who is ultimately responsible to oversee the completion and the quality?Thursday, August 20, 2009

are from various sources.
Rating: R

physical and sexual violence accordingly. Also, there is sex between men &women and
women & women. If that ain’t yer cuppa tea, Starbucks is down the road.

Birdie’s prettiest prostitute.

I'm very serious about the violence warning.
