The Superdome renovation - which included everything from extensive roof repair to sanitizing every seat - cost $185 million: $116 million from FEMA, $41 million from the Superdome Commission, $15 million from the NFL and $13 million from the state.

It is sickening that they would spend federal monies to repair the superdome when ovr half the city is still without power or water. This is a terrible lesson fo the community and the country. Ray Nagin is a racist pig that is incapable of leading a sound, intelligent government. Why is football so important? Why is it more important than electicity or water? Is entertainment that much more important? Is this the same theory that applies in the ghetto where there are houses that havent been painted in 20 years or shingles missing from the roof but there is a $30,000 car in the driveway with $2500 wheels and a $4000 STEREO?

By rebuilding the Superdome, you replace the number 1 revenue dollar in the state of LA. Just this one game last night will replenish the money spent on repairs to the dome. Businesses will reap benefits from the games and tax dollars will be generated. These tax dollars should be used for the people of LA. Remember, there are 8 home games, bowl game for college, and the way it is going, playoff games in the future. If you are concerned about the people who still don't have their homes and lives back in order (and I am one of them) tell your gov't to quit aiding all of these 3rd world countries every time something goes wrong and let's concentrate on taking care of our own here in the US of A.

One game doenst make even close to that in revenue. Football is not the number one revenue source. Where in the hades did you get this crap load of information? Tourism is probably one of the biggest revenue generators. Of course oil and gas are the biggest i would imagine with gambling being way ahead of football revenue.

Where do you think 99% of all those people were at before the game. They were eating, drinking, staying in hotels, visiting New Orleans tourist spots, SPENDING MONEY. What were they doing during the game, spending money, all taxable items. I know more about revenue and what a football brings in than you know about where your next meal is coming from.

Ya Ya...I understand your point! The fact that people of color have had to endure racism for many years in this country is valid. However, Oprah's comment was not in the spirit of what you are saying. Her comment bragging about hiring "whites" to do menial jobs in order to perpetuate servitude over them is just as dangerous and mean spirited as the "original racists". It is not the fact that she hires white people to do a certain job...it is the fact that she brags about it from a racial standpoint.

In regards to the Superdome...the reason, and I am not saying that I agree with it, that so much was put into the Superdome from FEMA was that the Superdome is the primary income producing venue for New Orleans. Not just sports events, but almost every week the Superdome hosts conventions, rally's, etc...The amount of dollars brought into the city by these events is enormous.

Aren't the insurance companies refusing a lot of claims with the argument that the homes were damaged due to wind as opposed to water? I remember that from a while back and wasn't sure if they had honored the policies of those homeowners afterall.

I dont think we could absolutely have any more publicity. As far as response what the HELL would everyone had done different? Everyone knew that storm was coming do you think that a recue and response effort of that magnitude could be put together in 24 hours? I figure that everyone assumed as I did thaqt people would have heeded the warning and gotten out of dodge.

As far as culpability in living on the coast I ahve to say you have to accept a little bit of the blame. Esp if you were below sea level. I used to get so tired of these people that live along the mississippi river and it would flood and their house would get destroyed and they would build right back in the same spot. They shouldnt even be able to buy insurance. IF you put yourself in a bad position so be it take the blame.

HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE DOES NOT COVER RISING WATER - no matter where or how it rises (tidal surge, river rising, excessive rain run-off etc) ......... Example - my house is 4.4 miles from the nearest river. In Oct 1998, the house (along with all the others in the subdivision) had anywhere from 39 inches to 4 feet of water in it. There was only 1 house in the subdivision that had proper coverage (and it wasn't ours) I have a feeling - 98% of us have flood insurance NOW - Again, it's all about making the right choice - The problem as i understand it in New Orleans, Mississippi and Ala from the Katrina damage is determining what exactly did the damage: Did high winds destroy the home before the flood waters washed it away etc. There again, if you have BOTH policies, they SHOULD work that out together. Flood is a FEDERAL program (written on public companies' paper, but backed by the govt.) Texas Windstorm Asso is the company that writes Wind, Hurricane and Hail coverage in the Tier 1 and Tier 2 areas of the state when "standard" markets exclude the Wind and Hail. It is a State Based Program used. As the companies start excluding wind and hail, more folks will learn more about them I am sure **good luck*** I have no idea if La, Miss and Ala have a "windstorm pool" or how they do it. I don't pretend to think Ins Companies are blameless in any of this, I just work for an agency for a paycheck like everyone else does - hope this explains something :)

you seem to have no problem lumping all white people into a category. equating race with degrading jobs doesnt make sense to me. i worked $3.80 per hour side by side illegals in the cotton fields and thought, "wow, ive got money i didnt have when i was sitting on my butt at home. not thinking it degrading. you do what you have to do to get by. i address every so called degrading job employee with "yes (or no) sir/maam. in my opinion its only degrading if you degrade them. since your first post in this thread you seem to think all white people are the same. the fact is all people arent the same and id appreciate you not insulting me.

Oh, believe me, this happens :rolleyes: :D and yes, it most certainly is Insurance Fraud.... :p

I'm not too surprised to hear it would be insurance fraud, but I am suprised it's been tried before. Guess there are folks "smarter" than me. :rolleyes:

how long ago was slavery? If I hear one more person make an excuse for the actions of people now because of Slavery im gonna freaking scream. Its long over get over it! Heck istn affirmative action enough? Is their not preferential treatment in other areas does that count for anything? Start you a United White boy College Fund see how that flies. Start you a White College Athletic League and see how that flies. Start you an League of Anglo Citizens see how far you get with that.
