Ärende: Life Under the Democr
=============================
Hello Kees,

 MvdV>> My house is 20 m  above sea level. I am still safe...

 KvE> My house is below sea level, but I see no water.

The city of New Orleans is 9 feet below sea level.

The land is sinking, and the water is rising.

Every few years, a hurricane comes through and wipes out the city.

Then the government comes in and rebuilds it.

The people move back and reclaim their city.

And then another storm comes through and wipes out the city.

Then the government comes in and rebuilds it ...

In  the old days, whenever a storm came through and wiped out
the city, the people themselves would band together and rebuild
it.  But that was before people came up with the idea of using
other people's money to rebuild what was destroyed.

Today, nobody - except democrats - wants to go back to the way
things were before.  I mean, really.  Better somebody else pays
the bills for an Act of God rather than what you yourself have
worked so hard for.

Oh, well.  Maybe we need another Katrina to teach the rest of
America a lesson.  Seems they should have learned the first time,
with all them folks from New Orleans having to relocate elsewhere
due to having no other place to go.

Kanye West blamed it all on George W. Bush, calling him a racist.
I do not believe George W. Bush was a racist, or at least not
intentionally so.  He may have been incompetent, but not a racist.
Yes, George W. Bush did fly over the city without landing and
noticed all those people standing on rooftops smiling and waving
at him, thinking how nice it was of them to do so.  But like I
said, incompetence is not the same thing as racism.

People who live in coastal areas know the land is sinking and
the water is rising.  Doesn't matter what part of the world they
live in.  The land is sinking and the water is rising.  Why is
that?  What is the cause?  Is it global warming, as most scientists
suggest?  Or is it something else, such as the earth's core heating
up, as others suggest?  Is there any way to find out, or of knowing
for sure?
