From anonymous poster at 8:18PM on Rigorous Intuition: The Last Refuge -<br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>almost forgot, last night sept5, there was a black trucker telling his story on the ABC national nightly news, i only caught the gist of it, but he was reffering to where one of the levee's had busted, (9th ward?), he lived not far from levee and he swears he heard a loud boom when the levee broke, he quickly got his semi- and picked up some neighbors/friends, and made it to a bridge where they had been staying for days. He is convinced that that boom was actually sabatoge, he and his friends firmly bealive this, in that their take on it is that N.O. needed that break to not flood the French Quarter at the expense of that area of the city.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>This is what I hinted at in my previous post. The "they" we so often speak of here do sometimes seem to possess a certain sentimental nature. Or, perhaps, there are fortresses even they are not yet ready to assail. Those who founded New Orleans may not be who owns it now.<br><br>As horrible as the past week has been for the people of that city that I have not stopped thinking of as one of my two favorites in the world, I myself am not ready to concede that the Battle for New Orleans is over. That is for her survivors to decide, regardless of where they may make camp tonight.<br> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=iroquois@rigorousintuition>Iroquois</A> at: 9/6/05 9:05 pm<br></i>
