Survivor IX: New Orleans

You know now that I think about it  I never really cared much for Louisiana.  What the UCC isn't good enough for them?  Base your legal system on French traditions of law, will you?  Not that I'd wish widespread tragedy on the supposedly good folks of LA, I just don't feel a terrible sense of loss having New Orleans and a few hundred thousand tar paper shacks washed away.

The last thing I want is a federal bailout for anyone stupid enough to rebuild in a flood plain or, say, a city sinking into the ocean.  Anne told me about a hyperventilating liberal woman she saw on ABC who was all verklempt about why somebody didn't build the levees/walls higher!  Why didn't someone do something to stop this from happening!!?? And the c*nt blathered on.  One wonders how she manages to find the time to hold down a job with her inability to change her own diaper.

All we need to do now is put up a big wall around New Orleans and we'd have 3XHAR's Prison Island.  It sounds like the survivors have been hit with a bit of the old ultraviolence already.

And Bush, releasing oil from the SPR.  How about repealing the Clinton gas tax (the only federal gas tax that wasn't spent on transportation) and doing away with the inane and inefficient gasoline reformulation scheme?  What a waste of time and money.  I don't see why Bush is complaining about gouging.  Hell, why not make all gas free?  If Bush has a magical correct non-gouging price for a gallon of gasoline I'd love to hear about it.  Me, I'll be curtailing long trips (I can literally walk to work) for a few weeks.

You can thank the Clinton-Gore Junta and their anti-progress green wackos for the current high gas prices.  No new refineries in 20 years + a lot of drilling and refining capacity in close proximity + restrictions on offshore drilling + MTBE = high gas prices.

The once-great city of New Orleans becomes the one maximum-security prison for the entire country. A fifty-foot containment wall is erected along Lake Pontchartrain, across the Mississippi River, and down along the Industrial Canal Levee. It completely surrounds New Orleans. All bridges and waterways are mined. The United States Police Force, like an army, is encamped around the city. There are no guards inside the prison: only prisoners and the worlds they have made. The rules are simple. Once you go in, you don't come out.
