Bangladesh Cyclone Deaths
On tonight’s news we learned that a Cyclone in Bangladesh killed 580 people and in 1998 another Cyclone KILLED 158,000 PEOPLE!!! All this death and destruction occurred without the incompetence of a FEMA and incompetent Louisiana and New Orleans government. Just imagine how many more would have died if they had a Ray Nagin as their mayor.

158,000? I had no idea that the number was that high. Do you suppose that the survivors moved right back into the same area as they are in New Orleans.
I did a little research. The cyclone that the news referred to was in 1991 not 1998 with 138,000 deaths not 158,000. However, I found that 300,000 to 500,000 were killed in a Bangladesh cyclone in 1970!! Katrina was a piker at only about 1,500 deaths. Now I understand why New Orleans re-elected Nagin. They probably think he saved them from a REAL disaster.
There is a deep lesson here about our disasters. Even with our inefficient buracuracy it is still better than anything other countries can do. That is why this is the best country on the face of the earth and other people realize it and want to join it, even if they have to break the law to do it.
This is a test, we have signed Jeannette up and are just browsing around.
