2002: News report: "There will be a huge hurricane that will come and destroy New Oreleans. Hundreds of thousands will drown, or be trapped in their homes. Many will starve to death without access to food or fresh water." 2003: There's going to be a really big hurricane in a couple of years. Get out now. 2004: There's going to be a huge hurricane soon. You need to leave. Being poor is no excuse, we warned you two years ago. You could've walked to a safe distance by now. There's still a chance if you leave now. 2005: There's going to be a huge hurricane. We warned you, we warned the federal government. It's probably too late for many of the poor people to leave, and there's no way we can evacuate all of them now because there's so many of them. You're all going to die. 2005, later: We told you so. Didn't you learn anything from all of those rich Floridians in the Keys who wanted to "ride it out?"

I think that prettymuch sums it up.
