Pumps' Perplexities

This topic is worth mentioning again....Poor New Orleans.....
No matter what the TV or news tells you it will take years
for that city to 'come back'......If it ever really does.....

I think it will......And then there will be another major storm
in 100 years or so and the future generations will have to
deal with it......Nagin, Bush and FEMA will only be words in
some wet, 'floating' history book....

For the current status of that poor city......Nothing has
changed......Today's major story in the Picayune is
the fact that the repair wall on a levee is higher on one
side than the other......The industrial side will be provided
more protection than the residential side......

The TV will tell you of the human, and sometimes unfair,
struggle of the situation.......For some reason the
bureaucratic maneuvering will be lost to history (and not
written in that 'floating' book)......New Orleans may
become the Troy of Helen.....Pumps

(Remember all history is relative to one's own life span.)....
