This Hurricane Thing

(Let me preface this by saying if you get offened by my OPINIONS stop reading here)

Gustav - Catagory 4 Hurricane heading to New Orleans (as of 08/30/08 10:00pm news). Has anyone else been following the evac reports coming our of New Orleans? I mean really this is top page news, just as it was 2 yrs ago, but that was for a different reason! NO ONE WOULD LEAVE!!!! Come on everyone had Hurricane Parties until the levee broke, and now they are doing mandatory evacs. Who are the people going to blame everything on this time? Who will be to blame when they loose it all? What happens to those who dont leave? Has anyone asked....Why New Orleans? Why this soon?
I have never been so I can not personally comment on the city, but from all the reports from Katrina, and showing how they were rebuilding, it still looked pretty nasty!
I guess only time will tell. They are estimating it may be a Catagory 5 by land fall on Monday, and it may even remain a tropical depression and make it way to North Texas. Yeah we will get rain.
But lets ask ourselves, if you lived somewhere that was ravished by Mother Nature, would you consider moving. I mean honestly, you could possibly get a better job elsewhere...you are starting all over anyways! But I guess if you move you dont get all the government money!
Also the gas prices, when we filled up this morning on our way out of town.. 3.29 a gallon coming back in tonight 3.37, what is it going to be this time next week????
The Republican National Convention - GO John McCain.. you have already chosen a woman as a running mate to get the female vote, and now you what to postpone the RNC to play the sympthay vote. He is going to do what ever he can to get attention. Have the convention and seem cold hearted to what is going on with the Hurricane Gustav or dont have the convention and make it seem like you care! What are the election rules??? Can he do this. I mean do the conventions have to be held a certian amount of time BEFORE the election?? Would the general election be postponed?
Okay I got this off my chest. Tell me your thoughts and feelings about this!!!
