We need strong leaders to stand up and admit it is shear stupidity to rebuild in New Orleans much of which is BELOW SEA LEVEL!<br />We need to wake people up to the fact that tens of thousands of lives and billions of dollars will be wasted if we rebuild on the coast of north Japan and on Haiti and then we have California, Seattle and Vancouver,B.C.!!! Geological landscapes can teach us all a lesson.Ken Drabinskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804534021230446787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30940686.post-69624351916640254642011-03-14T13:46:07.663-07:002011-03-14T13:46:07.663-07:00We here in the PNW need to face some facts: we cou...We here in the PNW need to face some facts: we could easily end up like New Orleans. Unprepared for a disaster, no effective rescue, and no real resources to rebuild afterward. The idiots in charge just don't care what happens. They're too busy pretending it never will. That's an intolerable attitude for what's supposedly the greatest nation on earth, and I wish I knew how we could change it.Dana Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00890312745525306991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30940686.post-3112956923052860202011-03-14T01:26:16.079-07:002011-03-14T01:26:16.079-07:00I agree, Lee.

Yes, guess what's on the budget chopping block. <br /><br /> http://www.nationaljournal.com/where-the-buoys-are-budget-cuts-wait-for-me-20110311<br /><br />This is sad news. We need to have our warning systems in place for disasters. The planet has taken quite a beating the last several years with quakes, three times now there have been ocean wide alerts. I don't think the quake activity, hurricanes and tornadoes are going to subside any time soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
