I can't believe...
that no one has questions about our compadres in New Orleans who obviously
have to be missing on the forum. During tornadoes in Nashville, through the 9/11 attacks, people here have been aware of what's happening to others around the nation and have responded with concern. Yet I find nothing here and we know for a fact that there are those who may need help and not a single note of concern. If anyone knows of any of our RAP contributors that needs a place to live for the next four months or whatever (my true guess is 18 months), whilst this nation works towards some solution to this problem, I volunteer my home, even at the expense of my wife becoming incensed about the possibility. I don't know how anyone would get here, since I live just outside of DC, but I have no doubts that people who are in such dire straights cannot go about setting their lives straight without the deliberate help of others to offer these people a place to start to recover. It is impossible for anyone to get a job and start to try to recover from such a tragedy in a shelter such as the Astrodome. It is impossible for anyone to qualm the fears of their children without stability in their surroundings. It will be impossible for the nightmares to end without each and every one of us doing what we can do. This is one of those times where a CD compilation won't do the job. No money, however much it could possibly be, will accomplish the goals necessary. We have to come to a much more human offering, that being a life to those that now have nothing with which to call a life. I have no clue as to how my wife and I could accomplish more than an offering of space to live as limited as that would be, some level of identity for them, and a severly restricted food supply (we'd have to have less, but they would have more), but today I heard a woman calling from the Convention Center in N.O. and it was her second time calling CNN. The first time there were 8 bodies in the refrigerators. 4 hours later there were 12. How can we help? Certainly money doesn't do the job, for there are no places for these people to live, no jobs to go to, no abilities for them to gain medical attention, and nothing to say that people care. The only option would be to offer our help in the only way we can. Give people a place to live so they can try to recover. I know my wife will kill me for offering, although I see the horror in her eyes. Then again it means room for one more. I'll be glad to give up my studio for 18 months if that's what it takes. Can anyone imagine what toll it would take if New York had to be evacuated? -- Roger W. Norman SirMusic Studio http://blogs.salon.com/0004478/ |

This is hardly the primarily barlike, adult, human and civil forum it once
was and it doesn;t surprise me. It infuriates me. What mic should I use to grab the last gasp of life from the stricken in New Orleans? Or the wail of a 3 year old that hasn't been fed or given a drink of water in 5 days? Certainly the frequency requirements suggest that a number of alternatives be considered. Or should I suggest that the frequency of requirements for support on the American homefront should have a number of alternatives be considered. Or perhaps should we even be allowing a $250 Million dollar bridge project in Alaska to an island of 50 people be part of the pork barrel Transportation bill since ONE THIRD of that figure would have shored up the levees in and around New Orleans so that it would have taken a Category 5+ hurricane to do what a Category 3 (on the western side of the hurricane) did. So why are there no alternatives considered in how to help these people recover their lives if mic considerations are appropriate in just the capturing of sound? Because, perhaps, this President and his official honchos don't have a clue of what these people's lives were like in the first place or don't really care? Or is it that the same type of mic is always in front of their faces because they decide they want to say something? The SNR of photo ops/news conferences to the dead/dying is overwhelming. Regardless of whether anyone thinks me a whimp, I cry at least a couple of times a day when I think of just how bad this is; the loss of a city renowned for entertainment and what could have been saved had any of the Administration paid attention to just the possibility of a disaster waiting to happen on American soil, much less listened to the Army Corps of Engineers. I said this on my blog, but since a lot of you don't pay attention (which is fine) then I'm going to say it now. In the past year the Army Corps of Engineers stated that the levees have SUNK 4 feet. By my miniscule math abilities that puts it over 1 foot for every one hundred days during the last year. It's impossible to NOT notice such a decline in the one level of protection that New Orleans had over holding the water at bay. An interesting aside is, here in the DC area, my wife just passed a gas station with lines up to one mile long. So much for the ability to trust this Administration and their ability to actually do the business of government. Rest gently, America. You won't get a chance soon. -- Roger W.

It's the unfortunate process of pork barrel politics rather than actually
taking care of the nation's and the people's business. This is why we are susceptible to terrorist attacks and have a government that supposes it can do something with a "war" on terror rather than treating it as a law enforcement problem. In other words, it's what the officials want to see it as, rather than being seen for what it is. -- Roger W.

There is not much we can do from the netherlands, but some specialists are underway to help with reconstruction of infrastructure. Here we do have a lot of experience with living below sealevel. I live about 5m below sealevel. To say it mildly, I do not understand there are quite a lot of reporters present, but after all these days even hospitals are without water, food and other supplies as even insuline. It was clear for some time a disaster was going to happen and about a week ago it was clear a real big disaster was heading to this area. Organisation of help should have started when evacuation of 1.5 million started. -- Chel van Gennip Visit Serg van Gennip's site http://www.serg.vangennip.com |

It's nice to know that at least one person is fine.
I urge everyone to figure out what can be done. If someone will sponsor a family's trip to DC, I'll put them up. It won't be pretty and it won't be fun. But it can be done and if just a few of us try, we can make a difference. Any effort makes a difference but money isn't enough. But it's obvious that nothing the governments do will ever actually help. They may save some lives, but what lives will they be? Apparently people all over the country are now responding, regardless of whether it's to my particular call or not. The idea is that Americans have to figure out this problem because our government can't. And if that's the way it's got to be then so be it. Nobody gets off scott free on this one. Either it costs you in gas, or the loss of seafood, or any number of other possibilities, or you step up and do something about it thereby making what you lost feel better because you helped. And even if it costs in food, gas or other commodities, we have the ability to bring this nation back together in common cause. Saving lives, saving families, and building on the foundation of communal togetherness. As I'm typing Condi Rice is again lying to the American public by making statements not in evidence, like accepting help from outside sources. From what I remember just a couple of days ago, Hugo Chavez of Venezula offered help and was turned down by no communications from the USA at all. The US has not accepted any help from any agency of any other government in the world. In the true Cowboy style of this piece of **** President, we'll go it alone, damned the consequences. ****, what happened to Ain't to Proud to Beg? -- Roger W.

While I think there are much better people to take charge of such a disaster
than Clinton, I will agree that if you substitute another person, **** could get done. I'd have had about ten heads about now and our National Guard would be moving in regardless of the possibility of their being assualted by snipers and such. Get the job done. It has to be done. If we can send National Guard into Iraq on a lie, well, this is not a lie. This NEEDS to be done regardless of the consequences to the troops. I hate to say it, but one cannot suggest that any one American in service to America is more important than the people that American troops are there to protect. It's part of the life we spend/t as part of the American support system. If this Administration hadn't chosen to send a large portion of our National Guard to Iraq, we'd have had this under control. Bush must have ****ed his pants. -- Roger W. Norman SirMusic Studio http://blogs.salon.com/0004478/ "Harry Lavo" wrote in message ... "Roger W. Norman" wrote in message ...

Well, I can't believe I've gotten only a couple of responses, mostly from
people that know me, but I'm now going to try to get in touch with authorities to get a family here to offer them shelter. New Orleans is going to burn to the waterline. My wife and I are going to step forward, and I hope that some of you will follow suit. I'll keep you appraised. -- Roger W. Norman SirMusic Studio http://blogs.salon.com/0004478/ "Roger W.

I've not found a responsible agency that would put me into touch with anyone
that could use moving out of New Orleans. I find this stupidity. The city is going to burn to the ground or at least to the water line. And there's no response, no matter how I try, to come up with a contact to bring any family up from New Orleans, nor anyone that wants to take responsibility for accepting the help my wife and I have chosen to give. This is outlandish. The President simply used the entire situation as a photo op. I am offering a possible solution. I am daunted by the impossibility to actually give help. But I will try again. I'm going to try by starting to contact Greyhound to move families to people interested in giving people homes for the short term, but more importantly, getting them to commit to moving the people away from where they are the most affected by what is happening to their city. After that, I will start calling other businesses to see whether it's possible to move people. It's a holiday weekend and this morning my local TV news broadcast was talking about people going to the beaches. I doubt this is the case. Who, in their right minds, could walk away from this problem without wanting to help? -- Roger W. Norman SirMusic Studio http://blogs.salon.com/0004478/ "Roger W. Norman" wrote in message ...

Well, you can't get there from here. There are no responsible agencies that
take calls, no places to call other than if you have relatives, and no way to try to offer help on a personal basis. Now I recognize that a lot is going on, but there should always be an avenue of communications that allows the individual to help, even if it takes deliving into the most basic layers of a website, but even with direct calls to FEMA and other bodies, no one wants to allow for the possibility that the average American can help. This is stupidity in it's purest form. After some 2 hours of trying to work the phones, calling everyone I can get a hold of, I have nothing. It's not possible for the average American to help. I realize that the time frames of my posts don't support the 2 hours of effort, but believe me, I've spent a lot more time than two hours. By the time any of us can get to help these people they will be beyond help. At that point it doesn't make any difference whether you and I are willing to provide homes. It becomes a moot point. Seems the federal government thinks they have it all under contoll. I can't even get in touch with the Govenor of Louisiana nor any of her cohorts. Not saying that any of her cohorts should be answering the calls, but at least they should be answering the questions if it means even on family saved. -- Roger W.

Obviously you didn't understand the idea that cash was not a solution to a

You KNOW not a soul will be able to take you up on your offer so it is empty. I am not impressed at all. You know no such thing.. But blather on... This doesn't have a damn thing to do with George Bush. It is New Orleans that is at fault here. Not the President. Damn it I really am sorry this is so long but it's warrented by the addlepated prattling of folks like Jona here... Month-sold issues and quotes ABOUT WHAT THE PRESIDENT DID follow: ----------------------- I've been here over 30 years and I've never seen this level of reduction, said Al Naomi, project manager for the New Orleans district. I think part of the problem is it's not so much the reduction, it's the drastic reduction in one fiscal year. It's the immediacy of the reduction that I think is the hardest thing to adapt to. There is an economic ripple effect, too. The cuts mean major hurricane and flood protection projects will not be awarded to local engineering firms. Also, a study to determine ways to protect the region from a Category 5 hurricane has been shelved for now. ------------------------------------ .... after 2003, the flow of federal dollars toward SELA dropped to a trickle. The Corps (ARMY ENIGINEERS) never tried to hide the fact that the spending pressures of the war in Iraq, as well as homeland security -- coming at the same time as federal tax cuts -- was the reason for the strain. At least nine articles in the Times-Picayune from 2004 and 2005 specifically cite the cost of Iraq as a reason for the lack of hurricane- and flood-control dollars. In early 2004, as the cost of the conflict in Iraq soared, President Bush proposed spending less than 20 percent of what the Corps said was needed for Lake Pontchartrain, .... "It appears that the money has been moved in the president's budget to handle homeland security and the war in Iraq, and I suppose that's the price we pay. Nobody locally is happy that the levees can't be finished, and we are doing everything we can to make the case that this is a security issue for us." Also that June, with the 2004 hurricane season starting, the Corps' project manager Al Naomi went before a local agency, the East Jefferson Levee Authority, and essentially begged .... "The system is in great shape, but the levees are sinking. Everything is sinking, and if we don't get the money fast enough to raise them, then we can't stay ahead of the settlement," he said. "The problem that we have isn't that the levee is low, but that the federal funds have dried up so that we can't raise them." (by) July 1, 2004, ... stretches of the levee in Metairie had sunk by four feet. ... The levee board noted in October 2004 that the feds were also now not paying for a hoped-for $15 million project to better shore up the banks of Lake Pontchartrain. The 2004 hurricane season was the worst in decades. In spite of that, the federal government came back this spring with the steepest reduction in hurricane and flood-control funding for New Orleans in history. Because of the proposed cuts, the Corps office there imposed a hiring freeze. Officials said that money targeted for the SELA project -- $10.4 million, down from $36.5 million -- was not enough to start any new jobs. There was, at the same time, a growing recognition that more research was needed to see what New Orleans must do to protect itself from a Category 4 or 5 hurricane. But once again, the money was not there. As the Times-Picayune reported last Sept. 22: "That second study would take about four years to complete and would cost about $4 million, said Army Corps of Engineers project manager Al Naomi. About $300,000 in federal money was proposed for the 2005 fiscal-year budget, and the state had agreed to match that amount. But the cost of the Iraq war forced the Bush administration to order the New Orleans district office not to begin any new studies, and the 2005 budget no longer includes the needed money, he said." .... One project that a contractor had been racing to finish this summer: a bridge and levee job right at the 17th Street Canal, site of the main breach on Monday. The Newhouse News Service article published Tuesday night observed, "The Louisiana congressional delegation urged Congress earlier this year to dedicate a stream of federal money to Louisiana's coast, only to be opposed by the White House. ... In its budget, the Bush administration proposed a significant reduction in funding for southeast Louisiana's chief hurricane protection project. Bush proposed ... a sixth of what local officials say they need." Local officials are now saying, the article reported, that had Washington heeded their warnings about the dire need for hurricane protection, including building up levees and repairing barrier islands, "the damage might not have been nearly as bad as it turned out to be." --------------------------- |

I think you can ask around as to my veracity. One family saved is one
family saved. You have bought lollipops at the store to distribute to the kids of Iraq. Cool. Now they need dentists. And it is Bush's legacy of budgets since 2001 that have left New Orleans to this fate. You may think you are right, but then again so does Bush. $10.2 million this year for levee support. Five years ago it was $76 million. And the levees sinking a foot per 100 days. You figure it out, if you have the brains. Or better yet, figure out how high your cats have to jump to get out of the swamp each year. Either way, you are wrong and so was Bush. A lot of us have spoken to the misapplied funds of this Administration's budgets. If you haven't been paying attention, then this is your wakeup call. -- Roger W.

Jona, if you were any good, you could work at 16/44.1 too. But you can't
can you? Just like you can't argue a case. Just because I chose to offer my home to a family that might need it, you chose to think that I won't come up with a donation or that's it's a hollow offer? You, sir, are the idiot you represent. People know what I stand for. People know that I will do what I say. Show the compassion instead of the money, because the money is as easy as sending a check, and offering any family 18 months of a place to live is more than you could possibly understand. ****, you probably couldn't go day to day with the same attitude, much less such a committment. Hell, I bet you don't even own your own house, so you couldn't possibly offer someone 18 months of shelter. But I do. And I can. And when I do it's for real. You are lower than the belly of a worm on a rain soaked day. Send your money. I'm sure it will help. And 18 months from now when people still don't have homes just **** off, ok. In the meantime, I will do what I can to get a family here to live their lives and get back on their feet. You, however, can die when a natural disaster comes your way. Or, if it so happens that we have another one and I make the same offer, even if it's you, I'll extend the same to you. Or maybe just to your family. You, if you want to get in, can suck dick and then I'll turn you away for being a homosexual. So live with that. Or better yet, try to learn from it. It's about time that someone learned something. -- Roger W. Norman SirMusic Studio http://blogs.salon.com/0004478/ "Jona Vark" wrote in message ... "Roger W. Norman" wrote in message ...

I have yet to hear ONE reason why the President should have landed in N.O. Exactly what is it you are expecting him to do? Take up vast security resources which could be used saving lives? Sure.. if he DID go into N.O. you would be whining about that. Give it up. |

Hey! someone else started this OT thread. Did you expect everyone to agree in it? |

What an ass. Who here wouldn't send money to the Red Cross for this?
Geez, what an ass. Sheesh. You haven't understood a thing I've said, have you, wax for ears. The funny thing is that you are READING this, not listening to it. -- Roger W.

There are no responsible agencies that take calls, no places to call other than if you have relatives, and no way to try to offer help on a personal basis. TRY SENDING CASH. :| I'm not all that comfortable with just sending cash. I also feel compelled to find a way to go down there and help out in some constructive way. I'm way up here in canada and I'd be willing to shelter people if need be. Send it to the Red Cross. You can always send cash AND go pick up a family to come and live with you.. (sheesh) |

"Roger W. Norman" wrote in message ... Jona, if you were any good, you could work at 16/44.1 too. But you can't can you? Are we reaching now? I think so.. pretty poor for a master blogger. Just like you can't argue a case. Just because I chose to offer my home to a family that might need it, you chose to think that I won't come up with a donation or that's it's a hollow offer? yup. You, sir, are the idiot yak. you represent. People know what I stand for. People know that I will do what I say. Show the compassion instead of the money, because the money is as easy as sending a check, and offering any family 18 months of a place to live is more than you could possibly understand. ****, you probably couldn't go day to day with the same attitude, much less such a committment. Hell, I bet you don't even own your own house, so you couldn't possibly offer someone 18 months of shelter. But I do. And I can. And when I do it's for real. You're a real piece of work. Now you're going to ask me to tell you if I own a house or not? I own more than my own house. Raised three kids in it. In one of the most expensive places on the planet. You're really reaching again. It's pretty sad, really. You are lower than the belly of a worm on a rain soaked day. Send your money. I'm sure it will help. done that. Your turn now. And 18 months from now when people still don't have homes just **** off, ok. So grab a ****ing hammer and join Habitat for Humanity. In the meantime, I will do what I can to get a family here to live their lives and get back on their feet. Sure.. and you can get 'em jobs and pay for hospitalization, food and everything! Well.. you be sure and update us on your quest. You, if you want to get in, can suck dick and then I'll turn you away for being a homosexual. You're just about the classiest there is. -- Roger W. Norman SirMusic Studio http://blogs.salon.com/0004478/ "Jona Vark" wrote in message ... "Roger W. Norman" wrote in message ... Obviously you didn't understand the idea that cash was not a solution to a problem. Perhaps you believe spending money on a problem you don't understand should produce more reasonable results? Like if your recording isn't good enough moving to 24/96 is the answer? Correct me if I'm wrong, but cash doesn't get to the people, and everything I've said about getting a job, the length of the problem, and working on how children perceive what's happening didn't touch you. I guess this proves that idiots are born every minute. I just didn't expect to get one. What on earth are you talking about? 24/96? That's your analogy? That's weak. There are many problems that can be solved with a higher sample rate and wider data width. Otherwise we'd all be working at 44.1/16. Look.. why don't you DRIVE down there in a van and pick up some people to come and live in your house? The Red Cross and other relief organizations need money and blood. Not extra space in DC. You're the idiot here. |
