Poll question: Will Bush use the disaster to get richer quicker by stealing land
from residents and turning it over to developers who will make millions while the residents get nothing or next to nothing?

What's left of the southern Louisiana wetlands will become oilfields before you can say "no good bastard."

3. that, and the full-scale gentrification of NOLA
Now that all the poor folk are gone, it's time to get some fill dirt, and build some luxury condos and upscale malls...

6. Not personally, perhaps.
But you can bet that pukes around the country are drooling at the thought of picking up some prime real estate cheap (from desperate people who've been through hell).

Makes me sick thinking about it, but it's inevitable.

7. Not only the land but
any usable personal property of value. Who will be checking for things of value as the houses are gone thru one by one. Call me a cynic but I know there are things that will go elsewhere as the dozers come in and the homes, rich or poor are gone thru to check for bodies,etc. This stinks, the people responsible for this gigantic snafu of a rescue and recovery will profit again. It will happen.
