The levee breach and the resulting flooding of New Orleans is a sad
testament to man's arrogance in trying to re-engineer nature.

Yes, the entire area epitomizes some of humanities worst ideas WRT
controlling its environment. Channelize the Mississippi? What folly.

Meanwhile, president Bush is at a Naval Air Station in Colorado making
a speech in which he compares his administration's politically
motivated hegemony in Iraq with WW2. "Once again we will not rest
until victory is America's and our freedom is secure." Any American
who buys in to such bull**** is a ****ing idiot.

Whom do you expect to influence by posting such words in a peaceful
newsgroup? My feelings WRT Mr. Bush, notwithstanding, I find them
offensive, as I'm sure most others do. As Denny points out, there are
ng's where such things may be appropriate, but not here.
