Pumps' Perplexities

In this one year anniversary of Katrina and its effect on the city
of New Orleans, every one is concerned as to is their little
town or city prepared for the same unfortunate disaster.....

Media people of TV, print and radio are still asking the same
stupid question or questions......"What would you do if a
Katrina type storm hit 'this' city"?......."Are you prepared?"....

I have heard Orange County in California mentioned in the
"what if" question......Here in Jabunaville, the same concern
"what if".......It has become a joke.......

New Orleans is a city at the bottom of a "cereal bowl"......Now
what other American city, do you know of, was built and
engineered, over the past 200 years, that way?......

Most of the coastal towns in America have a low lying area
which is prone to flood during a heavy rain storm....But can
you name another American town which was build in a
"cereal bowl"?.......

So in fairness to all, why does not the media just compare
Katrina/New Orleans to Rotterdam, Holland......Pumps
