The more I see what's going on in New Orleans, the more it disturbs me. Questions I hear asked, "Where was the government?", "Where was FEMA?", and probably the most disturbing, "If this were Los Angeles or New York, would the response have been different?" No one will know the full impact to the region until all the water has been removed, until all the bodies have been recovered, and until someone has been made accountable for all the mistakes that were made. I'm very sure a scapegoat is being chosen at this very moment and that's very sad. Again, if you find it in your heart to contribute at all to the relief effort, please give.
I promise more lighthearted posts in the future, and something new once I've somewhat recovered from the newscasts, podcasts, blogs, and newspapers.

Perhaps we should all focus on what -is- being done at the moment and what we can do as opposed to what isn't or what hasn't. There'll be time enough in the aftermath to throw blame around and argue about ultimately inconsequential matters.
Such anger, such hostility! Can't we all get along??
Just a thought, but Republicans love to throw blame around... now that they're Emperor has some mighty dark poopoo on his shoes, they seem to be saying "What about the victims? Let's worry about the people who are to blame for their deaths later!"
