i would have to argue that in fact reasa is wrong. first of all yes he has a poiint in of the fact that the state and city are in part to blame.
HOWEVER:
the mayor did order the city evacuated. Admitedly, he did not provide public transit for the evacuation of those citizens who were unable to evacuate themselves. there was no precedent for that in american public life. evacuations are rarely taken seriously the press and much of the public consider them optional...
this seems to have not been an error so much as a continuation of american public policy at the locan and regional levels which is shown to be inadequate and contintues to be so..
further more:
as to the governer,
the goverener infact asked for antiona guards support on thursday. hwoever washington's response was slow. thi s has been alleged to have been becasue communications were slow.
admitedly the goverener also delayed the entry of teh red cross and others into the city but this was in response to "alleged" violence and disorder in the streets.
FEMA's role is one which one will hear repeatedly denoucned by every one and assuch i do not feel the need to reiterate it.
which brings me to the president.
i hate to bring this up but in fact the american president is one of th e most powerfull political figures in the world. he is in now way shape or form a figurehead. in additon to being teh commander and chief of the armed forces, possesing the power to veto legislation which incurs his wrath. he also beacsue of political precedent in the aunited staes in able to appoint the leaders of nearly every federal agency including FEMA when he is elected to office. thus the leadership of FEMA is ultimately the responsibility of Bush.
furhter it is the policies of the administration which pulled money and people from FEMA into the department of homeland security. contriburted in a serious way to the agencies ability to perform the role it had in this crisis.
Disputing the Federal governement's responsibility in this area is pointless.
The storm was predicted by teh National Hurricane Center the federal government had declared the area a federal emergency area. URL=http://www.fema.gov/about/history.shtm]FEMA's mission remains: to lead America to prepare for, prevent, respond to and recover from disasters[/URL].
The states rights movment is dead. believe it.
i forgot to mention that desipte numeruous warnings the most accessavble member of the bush administration was infact shopping for shoes at the time when the crisisn utterly predicably went down. (ms. rice)

At a news conference 10 a.m. on August 28, shortly after Katrina was upgraded to a Category 5 storm, New Orleans mayor C. Ray Nagin, calling Katrina "a storm that most of us have long feared," ordered the first ever mandatory evacuation of the city. Contraflow lane reversal on Interstate 10 leading west and Interstates 55 and 59 leading north from New Orleans was ended that afternoon.

and by liberalism i mean recoganiton of historical facts.
Katrina versus Chernobyl
that and it seemed like a good time to mention one blatant ommision that infact the reactor explosion was a total suprise unlike katrina.

picking a college is much more than looking at the college board website.
i have to say that visiting is a really good idea, as is knowing what you are looking for.
look for a school that matches up with what you want to do.
i say read a few issues of the student paper (most of them are online now) and see what you think. for example : http://www.idsnews.com/subsite/story.php?id=24586, versus : http://www.cavalierdaily.com/comics.asp?pid=1341
get an idea about how life and school will be, look into opportunites the school can give you.
finally, look into the social scene: are any cool bands playing in town? sports? are you going to be stuck in a 20 man dorm under 6 feet of snow for 3 months? will you only see corn fields for 9 months a year?
there are other things too, i'm sure. but, i'm tired and i have to be at work in 6 hours so i'm off.
