What's Good for the Goose...

After reviewing all the information coming out about Hurricane Katrina, I think I see the biggist single reason why so many were left behind. If they had put a nuclear power plant in New Orleans, they would have had sirens, a 100% tested and effective evacuation plan, that would have covered 100% of the population. Instead, they let the Army Corps of Engineers spend billions of dollars on the waterways, levees, dikes and dams, without filing a single evacuation plan. If they had been forced to follow the same procedure that a private firm would have, the city would have been 100% evacuated, and we wouldn't be looking at all the finger pointing that is going on.
