Re: A letter from Michael Moore
 

Michael Moore could have sent in busses to help evacuate the people but he chose not to. The mayor of NO could have asked for busses to help evacuate people but he was too busy running to higher ground to save himself. The governor of Louisiana could have asked for help evacuating people but she didn't either. They knew 2+ days ahead of time that it was going to be a real close hit to NO. The levees should have been reinforced years ago to handle a category 5 storm but NO chose to spend the money they were given elsewhere. Michael Moore could have helped reinforce the levees but he didn't. Troops being abroad have nothing to do with what happened here. NO and the state of Louisiana had no central command set up in case a hurricane hit. So who was supposed to organize the relief effort? The federal gov't couldn't have done much more than they did in the first couple of days because there was no central command to communicate with. This disaster is the fault of the city of NO local gov't and blame should not be passed on to anyone else. Michael Moore should spend a couple of nights in a flooded NO house, I'm sure we would all appreciate it if he did. I'm sick of these self-righteous "celebrities" who never have anything to offer before an event occurs. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif I applaud Sean Pean who jumped in to help rescue people. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif Going forward, NO should not be allowed to rebuild anything that is below sea level, that is the situation that created this disaster, not global warming, George Bush, Iraq or poverty.

The only ones to blame are the city planners who built this place 18 feet below sea level and the ding dongs who decided to live in the place, years ago there was another place like this, it was called ATLANTIS, Gee anyone been their lately?
A Big https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif to Sean Penn!
In the end we will all be paying for this mess, can you say federal flood insurace program, id like to say thanks to all my buddies up in the hills of Montana someplace for the cheap $300.00 premium for my multi million dollar flood insurace policy. THANKS!

Sean Penn took along his personal photographer(and a leaky boat!), typical..." we've got to help these people, how do I look?". Anyone ever seen ACTUAL proof that we're screwing up the ozone?

Re: A letter from Michael Moore
 

I get pi$$ed when i hear the americans complain about they're "high price" of gas becouse of Katrina. I live in an oil rich province and my priemier was asked by bush to double our oil output to help with this crisis. I see prices in the states are averaging about $3.06 a gallon and they're complaining!!!!. Right here at home where the gas is made we pay (with the exchange and the litre to gallon conversion made) on a normal day $3.62 a gallon, and now becouse of katrina we are paying an average of $5.21 a gallon. Which since we did'nt have a storm and the gas is made here, how does that equate. Well becouse of the terrific support bush showed us when our beef producers were starving when mad cow hit us, (1 case by the way and 3 cases found in the states) and Canada lost billions in lost cattle revenue, and lets stick on the soft wood lumber tariffs that Bush will not give on when it's against the free trade act, i could go on with the list of how we get worked over, well our priemier said NO!!

Where's all bushes buddies???, the billions they make off of north america every year you think that they could offer a little more that a few million. Thats a days interest for them, how about a few hundred million!!!, park a few of the weekender yaughts out in the harbour to help out with some of the relief work, like that would really hurt them. ...........oh ya thats right poor people don't buy gas!!

May be it's an excuse by the Canadian oil companies to jack up the price? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif
