[Gabi Hayes]

2. Mike Tidwell, "Bayou Farewell" and "Ravaging Tide" author, is on.

Melissa Lacewell, "Barbershops, Bibles, and BET"

are the guests

BM: why were the warnings before Katrina ignored?

MT discusses, as in his book, that the destruction of the landmasses in the Mississippi Delta made it obvious that there was no more buffer for storm surge, just for starters

[Gabi Hayes]

3. those poor people. Tidwell:

"If Iraq's biggest export was broccoli, would we be there?"

making great points about how vulnerable all our coastlines are

anybody heard of/read Kim Stanley Robinson's Capital Code trilogy, about what happens as a result of global warming?

well worth it. he sounds like a DUer, even discusses the STOLEN election of Max Cleland!
