15. Not a very enlightened response.
He "wished" nothing upon you, or the people of New Orleans. I'm apparently the only one posting in this thread who actually saw the piece on television. It was lengthy, and detailed, and pointed out historical patterns dating back for centuries, which man has known about for centuries. Comparing the buildling of a city below sea level, in a hurricane ally, to a random act of nature is simply wrong. The only thing "random" about the occurence in New Orleans comes from the fact that man only lives about 70 years. Natural patterns are spread out over much longer terms.

Obviously, people living in the locales he mentions (and they weren't just in the US), have great pride in their home towns. That's wonderful. But it doesn't change the science behind his assertions.
