“AfterMath in the land of opportunists”

Over 10,000 dead in New Orleans.  Oops make that 118 all across the State of Louisiana and a total of 337 in all affected states (circa Sept 10). Meanwhile across the pond, Central Europe is quietly coping with the tragedy of what is their worst flood season in years.  There is not a peep in the North American press nor appeals for cash and sympathy for those flood victims.  Perhaps, if we weren’t so used to our politicians and media crying wolf, more lives might have been saved in those southern States as there is a good chance that they might have heeded the warnings and evacuated.
