Unnatural Disaster

Wired News asks "How Vile is Katrina's Toxic Goo?" The hurricane was a natural disaster. What happened in New Orleans was unnatural -- the natural result of a lack of levee maintenance, a lack of superfund cleanup, a lack of planning/execution of a response to a predicted event, a lack of coastal wetlands protection, a lack of tax/budget funds to do any of this, and misuse of tax/budget funds that were available. More than enough blame to go around.

I'm tired of hearing it referred to as a "natural" disaster.
