The Media and Disasters

The many Hurricanes over the years. Posted by Picasa



I don't understand why all the fuss.
I feel bad for the people in N.O.,
which why isn't Alabama and Mississippi
people on the news? They lost their
homes too...They had no food and etc.

But over the years, the coast gets
hurricanes, and the middle of the
country gets tornados and people are
shown on roof tops being rescued, in
each case.

Every year we have this...
In Kansas, Indiana and etc. as well
as Florida, South and North Carolina...
And never get the media blow out like
this. And this isn't even the first
hurricane that ever hit New Orleans.
It is not even the worse one that hit
there, as Camilla was just as powerful
I believe. So why the media hype???

One reason I have heard.. is ...
if you are thinking about N.O.
then you aren't thinking about Iraq...
if you are watching Bush and that
is where the newsmen are, after the
hurricane... then you aren't thinking
about Iraq...

You know that could be possible.
After all they claim Clinton started his
stuff overseas to get the pressure off
of him and Monica...

I do know that, God did not do it to
punish us... because we gave Gaza strip
away...we have had hurricanes since before
there was an Israel. God did not do it
because N. O. is a city of sin.. (other wise,
there would be no Hollywood, LA and a
few others, too many to mention.)

Bush did not do it. The Republican party
did not do it. Nor the Democrats either. ...
the levees weren't done because some one local
either didn't get the message that it was important...
or some one use the money for something
they liked better... who the heck knows ...
but that can be hashed out later.... and
fix it then

But one thing for
sure...hurricanes JUST HAPPEN...
it is science, get over it.

As you can see from the map above,
that is going around on the emails...
Get use to it... we have had a lot
of them (and this map shows the
ones just since 1950) we will be having
many more... and the more we build
the more damage there will be.

If you don't like Hurricanes live in
Minnesota.
If you don't like Tornado's live in
Maine.
If you don't like snow blizzards and ice
storms..live in upper Texas..

Or live where you like and prepare for
the local disasters. It is science. It is
just the weather.

I agree with you on this Cis -- Go figure, huh if you know you live in a 'hot' weather zone.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! ;-)

Well put Cis. I'm tired of hearing about it too. As far as I'm concerned if you want to live where there are disasters then be prepared to deal with them. I'm not saying don't lend a helping hand in a time of crisis. I think that's what makes this country great, but lets not make a bigger deal of it then it is.
