Thread Name: BS: Predictions for New Orleans
Subject: BS: Predictions for New Orleans
1. The government (both state * fed) will push survivors from the land.

2. The white house will minimize the human loss and publicise how much work has to be done to make New Orleans Safe.

3. The Republicans will float suggestions that perhaps New Orleans is just unsafe and shouldnt be rebuilt.

4. Much of the work will be done enriching Haliburton and White House lobbiests.

5. Residents will be asked to pay the bill for the clean up. A minority group (eg veterens) will get a publicised discount / repreave from these fees. Much of poorer New Orleans will default on this fee, surrendering their land to Bush flunkies.

6. Flunkies will remodel and rebuild New Orleans with trendy and expensive homes where the poor used to live before they were pushed out by lack of work and clean up fees.

7. New Orleans of the past will be demonized as lawless and lude. Flunkies will celebrate their new New Orleans and the news will never carry the stories of the displaced & poor.



Thats not what I think should happen but what I think will happen.
