Everyone with half a brain understands that New Orleans flooded because the levees broke or were overtopped. The U.S. government built those things. So the Feds are responsible. New Orleans has survived plenty more storms and calamities in its long history than smug Denverites could ever imagine. And culturally if Denver disappeared off the face of the earth few would notice. New Orleans is a world heritage city. Denver is a boring wasteland, so naturally a blizzard or two doesn't make much difference. What an idiotic post.
