Anyone else sick to death of "Hurricane Katrina Anniversary Week?" (rating, economic)

This shouldn't be a condemnation of Bush, as much as it should be a condemnation of big government. Katrina and the recent oil spill fiasco are percect examples of too many layers of government. Big government often fails, but we keep relying on it... It's a shame.

Whats a shame is how easy it is to brainwash people.

We get it.

We didn't hear about south Florida constantly for five years after Andrew leveled it back in the early 90's.

Enough.

No, you don't get it. Let's compare:

Forty-three deaths were blamed on Andrew in the United States. It destroyed 126,000 homes, left 180,000 people homeless and wiped out 80 percent of the area's farms.

Ten years after Hurricane Andrew, effects are still felt - South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com

Katrina was the most destructive and costly natural disaster (http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/news/ynews/ts_ynews/storytext/ynews_ts3464/37332504/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/ahistoryofdestruction8greathurricanes - broken link) in U.S. history, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The National Hurricane Center (NHC) reported that the Category 5 hurricane killed a total of 1,833 people across five states, damaged more than 420,000 houses, and forced 1.2 million people to evacuate their homes.

Like it or not, New Orleans is considered one of the United State's most treasured cities. Lee County cities, not so much.

ok.

We still don't need to hear about it all day every day

Why not? Are ratings down for the networks that are doing so?
