This was a natural disaster but unlike the tsunami this disaster was expected and forecast, it was also a natural disaster which was happening to a country with a strong infrastructure and excellent resources. We are used of seeing places such as Africa falling apart when a natural disaster strikes but the USA should have the ability to prepare and deploy a strategy for before and after the event. This didn’t happen it looks like the people with money made there own way out of the area and those who were poor (black or white) just stayed and died.
Governments only react to risks when a risk becomes an issue and never before. Governments (Blair/bush) say they care about us and that they have our best interests at heart, they don’t! |

It’s evident that the majority of the lower class in the US is made up of black people; this lower class is normally also a hidden class until things like this happen and they become apparent.
Bush will be seem relating to these people over the next few months until an opportunity arises to brush all this under the political carpet. Bush sees this class as a problem and not as good tax payers, Last edited by itbestuk : 09-02-2005 at 10:18 PM. |

I mean, have you spoken to him in his lifetime concerning what he thinks and about issues of race and the lower class?

You don’t need to speak or know a person to understand how governments view and treat there lower classes; it is situations like this when it all becomes apparent.
What a politician say shouldn’t be taken a there view you should judge them on there actions, and currently there actions are very poor. |

My opinions are formed purely from my understanding on how governments work.
I have the advantage of not working for the government as then I can make unbiased, informed judgments, unlike some people. and only the two Cities, but I chat with Tony now and then..... I see you opened a "Political Bushwhacking Thread" are you into current affairs |

No, I'm trying to keep the political dialogue to a limited space so that the rest of the threads can be of use. It seems when politics gets involved that things get bogged down. Some people trash a person.. other people defend him, and it goes on and on.

1. argue it rationally. 2. back up what he's saying. Some people expect more than just bigotry. It might work for you... but I'm not satisfied with it. |

I try not to be a news media junky you find that the news companies have there own agenda when it comes to reporting the facts, I try to feed of article of peoples own experience I find BBC Radio 4 very good for reporting the facts and also putting politicians in the hot seat. But at the end of the day I think all this information needs to be taken with a pinch of salt and you need to form your own opinions from the diluted reports which reach us thought all our available mediums
its 5am so I getting some sleep, laters |

Exactly itbe. You've definitely got it spot on about not letting the news and other people form your ideas for you.
The problem here exists in a simple inductive logical fallacy. Its called Hasty Induction. Basically what this says is that we form an opinion with too little information. And really, thats what we have. All these people that have problems with Bush personally about this little thing or that little thing... its near impossible to draw a full conclusion like "Bush doesn't care about the poor" and what not from examples which we could very well bias anyways with our own beliefs. Which is one of the reasons why I defend Bush. It is too easy for people to misjudge someone given the limited amount of information that we have available to us (and the biases it is filtered through). Especially in situations like the current one, we need to be more willing to help and stop our personal attacks against people because at this present time its benefiting no one. Later on people can and should have logical discussions about the activities that took place, and who did not meet expectations. But character assassination right now? This just isnt the time for it ![]() |
