New Orleans... What is the message here? How very sad that we have to see this happen. How strong were the bonds between people and planet, between races and creeds, before they happened?

Natural Bonding
between all the creations
of life is called LOVE.

Set your commerce and build your
foundation on the Jean Baptiste Model
and you sow and weep.

Sadly, very sadly, lots of people get hurt
and others get very angry.

The Levee was bound to break
Every body knew that and enjoyed
the Marde Gras while it was happening.
Booze helped take away the anxiety that the levee would'
not break, but eventually even booze will not
help..

What can we learn from New Orleans?

i am looking around my own life?
How about you?

What is the foundation of your life?

What does it stand upon?

your eg.

Please see this blog if you would like
to know more about the remedy for
Living beyond being a natural disaster
waiting to happen

New Orleans' Tragic Paradox
By Kevin Sack, Times Staff Writer

In 1718, French colonist Jean Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville ignored his engineers' warnings about the hazards of flooding and mapped a settlement in a pinch of swampland between the mouth of the Mississippi River, the Gulf of Mexico and a massive lake to the north.

Ever since, the water has sustained New Orleans and perpetually threatened it. Somehow, until this week, the mystique of the water had always washed away the foreboding of disaster, as if carrying the city's worries downstream. That was true even early Tuesday morning, when Hurricane Katrina's last-minute veer to the east convinced many residents they had once again eluded the Fates.

But when the rainfall brought by Katrina breached levees and overwhelmed the city's pumping stations, the catastrophic consequences of Bienville's miscalculation could no longer be ignored.

New Orleans, a city that has struggled to keep its head above water, physically and economically, is now a city submerged.
