Reply #70: Your being a Katrina survivor doesn't lend you any expertise on oil disasters.

The two situations aren't comparable at all. The government -- through the National Guard and the military -- has always had experience in evacuating victims of disaster. The Federal Government has never had an expertise in drilling or drilling disasters. We've never had an oil gush of anything near this magnitude and our military certainly isn't trained to handle it -- neither is Homeland Security. The only boom that might turn out to fix this problem could be the boom of an atomic bomb.
