police?Originally posted by iveco:I don't quite get you.
in short, it will still be the same if happens in any US cities. A disaster this magnitude is just unpreventable and the rescue will always be slow.
unless stand down the military and send every army terrain vehicles and hundred thousand of troops to rescue them. -
Hey, maybe by the end of the week Dubya can declare a War on Nature.
Regarding spidee's comment on the Kyoto Protocol, based purely on what was orginally presented, nobody should have signed it. The original documentation was fundamentally flawed because it was based upon the assumption that all third world countries would be operating in the same fashion as first world countries by about 2035. Now Mogadishu may become like Los Angeles in the next 30 years, but the odds aren't high enough to take that as an assumption. Starting from such an assumption, all of its conclusions are therefore questionable, and no responsible leader should make decisions based upon such a document. -
no , should go to that senator that lost the race.Originally posted by iveco:He certainly should. The presidency can go to Al Gore.

If you signed a contract and didn't stick to the conditions, you'd create a whole lot of problems for yourself, wouldn't you?

indeed, life is so unpredictable, everyone thought that the hurricane would hit florida and then go nothing big will happen. instead, it has to hit a state that is already under sea level, GL.. HF..

Did men play a part in making Ice Age melt to what we're now?
Sometimes, there are more than meets the eye. What you've learnt cannot apply completely and cannot be considered 100% correct. There are many mitigating factors leading to global warming and we cannot blame entirely on man alone. -
Black fury at Bush over rescue delay:
Richard Luscombe in Miami
Sunday September 4, 2005
The Observer
Civil rights leaders, church officials and rap stars have united in ferocious criticism of President George Bush's attitude towards the tens of thousands of black people still trying to escape the hell of New Orleans.
An overwhelming majority of the refugees are African-Americans, who make up 67 per cent of the city's half-million population, and some are questioning whether the government's response would have been quicker had the catastrophe struck a white community. The Reverend Calvin Butts, president of New York City's Council of Churches, writes in today's Observer: 'If this hurricane had struck a white middle-class neighbourhood in the north-east or the south-west, his response would have been a lot stronger.'
In an extraordinary outburst during a live television fundraising concert broadcast on America's NBC network, the rapper Kanye West said: 'Bush doesn't care about black people. It's been five days (waiting for help) because most of the people are black. America is set up to help the poor, the black people, the less well-off, as slow as possible. We already realised a lot of the people that could help are at war right now.'
The episode was further proof of growing anger within the black community and a belief that race was a factor in the days of delay before troops and emergency supplies began to arrive.
Jesse Jackson, the civil rights leader, said he saw 'a historical indifference to the pain of poor people and black people' in the US and said it was poignant that blacks were suffering in New Orleans, for many years the south's biggest slave-trade port.
'Today I saw 5,000 African-Americans on Highway 10, desperate, perishing, dehydrating, babies crying - it looked like the hold of a slave ship. It's so ugly and obvious. The issue of race as a factor will not go away.'
It was always likely that a controversy would emerge over the racial make-up of the survivors. Almost a third of blacks in New Orleans live below the poverty line and many simply did not have the means to heed mayor Ray Nagin's mandatory evacuation order before the storm hit, while most in the more affluent white community were able to escape.
Nagin, who is black, was criticised for not mobilising buses for those who lacked transport, but Jackson said the blame lay elsewhere. 'It was George Bush and not the Mayor of New Orleans who cut the budget on building a stronger levee to protect the city from a flood in the event of a category 4-5 storm,' he said. -
