You've GOT to be (killing) joking. At least the Chinese tried to feed as many as they could despite famine; the local, state, and federal US governments left 1,500 people to die, even though they had busses lined up, had bottled water, etc. ready to deliver, etc. THe cops even shot at people trying to leave New Orleans over a bridge. It was downright murder of 1,500 Americans by their own gov't.

We are not dealing with any individual countries here, we are dealing with ideologies . The famine that swept through China in the 30's and 40's was partly due to the communists and their inability to get food on peoples tables, whilst Katrina was purely down to nature . Also the Chinese famine was on a different scale to Katrina , 2 million people died in the Chinese famine and the only people to die in Katrina were the ones who dies naturally . People didnt starve to death in Katrina either , which proves that Capitalist Countries are mire apt with dealing with disasters than Communist Countries are. > Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2007 12:39:01 -0500> From: bigblackhair at sbcglobal.net> To: gathering at misera.net> Subject: Re: [kj] . .
