i see the opportunity of Katrina's damage  and of this gulf oil spill
as two "smashing opportunities" having gone to waste thus far.
Seems to me that the response to foreign disasters always takes precedence and even gets a more rapid response....from the feds.
the whole cutting of 
straight channels in the 
Marshland (which has resulted in making it disappear) and the Levies built by the army corps of engineers as the biggest blunders
in modern history.
