[QUOTE]Originally posted by Kitty: [QB] Yes we need plans in case of catostophic events, but like what I said before to Joe and Chad has just re-iterated, you can't plan for every possible, maybe, can happen in 10,000 years event. The other issue is that as much as we want to plan, you really can't as each event is different from second to second. Think of how different 9-11 would have been if the towers had not collapsed (1000's of more people alive), or the levees didn't break (1,000's of more people alive). We have no idea of the full extent of any disaster until after it occurs. Everyone wanted relief immediately after this disaster and expected to have a plan in place, understandable, but you can't plan 100% for an outcome that you don't know. Just think if the levees didn't break and their was just slight flooding in NO. Everyone would be bitching at the Fed governement, had they has planned for the worst possible disaster in US history for this Hurricane, for waisting money and effort on such a minor event and taking our focus away from world conflicts. I understand that in some eyes, no one is taking accountablility, but if you want accountability to have a focus, you need to start at the rock bottom. Not the Goverment bottom, the human chain bottom. People themselves had the responsibility to get out, due to their resources or choices they couldn't do it themselves, they then tried to get it at the state level, the state level couldn't get it, so then it went to the Federal level. Since their is no one else to blame, people are saying the accountability is on the Fed Gov. "They didn't move fast enough after the Hurricane, they didn't reinforce the levee, they didn't try to reduce the poverty level in NO so these people had the means to get out." I am a firm believer in controlling your own destiny. Everyone wants the government out of their lives, except when they get in a situation like this... then the government should be accountable for everyone? :bs: [/QB][/QUOTE]
