> The Great New Orleans Land Grab-The 17th Street Canal levee was breached on purpose

This is very interesting. Many of the pictures that I saw on Yahoo that showed the broken levees made mw think that they did not look like storm dammage. The levees bay the Garden district would be just as vulnerable to breaking but they did not. I also noticed that the satalite immagery that I was able to find on the net did not show certain areas of uptown. I had a family member there in the unsown area at the time, who’s phone miraculously did work, when verry few other phones did work. I will also remark that it is verry suspicious that manny 504 area code cell phones do not work, when all they should need is a good tower and a signal. The only thing is I don’t know if you can say this is only about Black people - perhaps it is about poor people, but not just blacks. Unfortunately the majority of poor people in New Orleans are blacks. They are also under educated, and New Orleans’ public school system was underfunded and really sucked. I know this because I used to live there. I moved because I didn’t want to live in a city that was below sea level. I rather think we would be better off if Katrina had hit harder and turned New Orleans into a lake. At least then it would be able to support wild life and the government couldn’t f* with it so much.
