It would seem knowledge of this history would shed a lot of potential light on the shootings played up as mysterious and unfathomable, and lead to an investigation into whether or not levees were breached (or deliberately not repaired) in order to save one area at the expense of another...

One also should not miss the five minute video clip version of the President of Jefferson Parish, talking in part about FEMA directly cutting emergency communications, cutting off water and prohibiting use of fuel, leading to an incredibly moving conclusion followed by total denial of what just happened by Tim Russert and Haley Barbour.

If you look around there are lots of other links here about cutting off resources and letting people die that cry out for a real, immediate and honest investigation.

and when i didn't see them follow my suggestion to make it it's own thread, I did. (BUt now i can't find the original poster)

I've never made my own thread -- I'm not even sure I'm allowed to yet (still a low poster, though I've been around for awhile!)

I did answer your post, and put in another link to the American Experience site about the Great Flood of 1927. Here it is again:

Maybe I'll get brave and start a post one of these days! Thanks for picking up my slack.

:blush:

just choose "post" from the menu at the top of the main menu and it's pretty much the same as doing a reply except you need to make up your own title!! : )

Thanks for posting.

those who are ignorant of history .... are condemned to never having their mind blown by its repetition in ignorance

before the levees breached. He said he had sand bags ready all they needed to do was come. Of course, they never came.
