I'm disappointed no one has really posted about this yet.

This New Orleans thing is really troubling me. Failures at every level of governance caused this chaos to unfold, and nothing is going to change. How could we have allowed this to happen to our own citizens, and how can we continue to allow them to dig themselves deeper? This overwhelming poverty of sense and morality, past and present, offends my conscience, as should it yours.

Meanwhile, 1000 die in Baghdad in a stampede, cholera, starvation, and aids sweep across Africa, and there are people sleeping on benches in the park two blocks from my house. I can't even read the international news right now. Im obsessed with this marshy turmoil.

i'm really angry that virtually no aid is getting to them. Children are dying. We're watching it on TV, and the world's richest nation is fucking busing people out practically one by one.

This is less urgent, but have you noticed that dark-skinned people with bags in their hands are "looters" and white people have "found" things? Im hoping it's a difference in reporting agencies and not, you know, people being fucked up. AP is, in my mind, at least partially to blame--but we knew we couldn't trust the media.

Even less urgent but still noteworthy: have you heard people saying that they would never "expect this to happen here?" Somalia, Rwanda, fuck yeah, but here, to us? No way. Not to, you know, real people.

Bullshit.

Not at all urgent but still fucktarded: RepentAmerica is blaming the hurricane on them damn Papists and their parades and so forth. So basically God did this to New Orleans. Uh huh. Right. What an awesome God. [insert sarcastic inflection in voice here]

In 2001 a report was issued calling this the "most likely natural tragedy" or something like that--yet federal funding was cut from emergency plans for, guess what, Iraq. Another report (FEMA i think) noted that about 100, 000 to 120, 000 people in the New Orleans area did not have cars--a mark of poverty outside of places like Manhattan. Guess where the death toll's falling. That report advised faith-based organizations to get their asses together and be prepared to help out during a tragedy--the same tragedy predicted by the 2001 report (but "no one could have predicted that the levees would break," right Bush?)--but no one moved.
mojobites:
Would you have expected something different from our current government? We are spending millions of dollars a day on this sham of a war yet we cannot take care of our own. It's fucking sick! A couple years back Florida was bombarded by huricanes yet they recieved instant federal aid meanwhile California was in a state of emergency due to an energy crisis but recieved no federal funding. Our founding fathers would be completely discusted with the government they fought so hard to establish.
