New Orleans Revisited

You have some nerve Mr. Allen Hyde Newland to say it is a waste of American resources to rebuild New Orleans. Your ignorance is mind boggling. New Orleans was rebuilt by the residents, civic organizations and volunteers who lack your heartless and arrogant mentality. We do more than our fair share for the country. We produce and distribute 30 % of the oil to the nation. We are the leading seafood provider. It would take forever to elaborate on our cultural contributions. There are thirty eight states susceptible to natural disasters. Based on your viewpoints our country’s leaders should start planning on taking over Canada. The disaster you are referring to was not a monster storm but a man made disaster courtesy of the army corps of engineers. This is another fact you failed to grasp an understanding of. If the majority of Americans during World War II had the mentality you have Mr. Hyde we would be ruled by Nazis.
