Before you shamefully accuse us of "angling for federal money" you should come visit us first. We'll take you down to our coast and show you your worst nightmare. You folks saying these things must be Yankees pretending to be conchs. Homegrown conchs know how precious our shared gulf coast is to all of us and fully understand the magnitude of this monster (and it's staring the Keys right in the eyeballs).

By the way, for all of Louisiana's "angling for federal money" we must really suck at it. We still have more neighborhoods in New Orleans that look like a nuclear war zone than we have with people living it them. You think the feds would let 60% of Miami look like that five years after a Katrina? Not with all those votes down there deciding presidential elections. So please, lay off. We don't have Florida's wealth or political power. All we have is a unique way of life. And now part of that is being destroyed as well.

Yeah you guys also had a week or so notice to leave...and didn't Then blamed the federal gov't for a freakin' hurricane. Alrighty then...

As far as 60%...New Orleans wasn't exactly a gem before Katrina.

Perhaps the mods shut down this thread or get it back on track? I don't think this is the place to discuss this way-too-hot topic.

There are many opinions on the Katrina issues, but let's keep the discussion to the OP'S TOPIC please. The current disaster is very unfortunate and devastating. Those in the midst of it are suffering in many ways. Let's respect each other please.

why these idiots at BP didn't do this 30 days ago is beyond me....

Probably trying to find a way to capture the oil, and not just shut it down. GREED

 

[Scuba_Jenny]

Probably trying to save the well. Top kill kills the well for good, from what I heard.
