    oh god I hated those things. beats the alternative though, as long as it'll float on the jello

    if you want to talk about providing power ...REAL POWER there for ANYTHING to be accomplished ...simply navigate any naval vessel in there and run some cables off of their power supply!


    same scenario applies for opening up a soup kitchen or temporay housing for the displaced victims.
    Shuttle them to navy vessels, somewhere ... anywhere, and you will have everything they need ... right on hand.


    I'm sure FEMA has already ran that scenario.

    stack Politicians and lawyers to make fill the holes in the levies...even if we have to use every politician in the world to stop the water.

    Even if it don't work...at least we would get rid of the politicians and lawyers
