It feeds a deeper anger in me about how THIS government can totally neglect whole communities and classes (and races) of people. <BR/><BR/>I am so looking forward to a change in the next few weeks.<BR/><BR/>I believe Katrina will ultimately be seen as the first hammer against the wall of the so-called "compassionate conservative" Republican party.<BR/><BR/>BanzaiBanzai Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17150499975491254039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30412896.post-64145077649678480602008-10-22T08:24:00.000-05:002008-10-22T08:24:00.000-05:00Ya, that was hard.

You hear a lot of the bad people that were there.<BR/>Then the "wake-up call", human behavior. I tell everyone I know and meet that are not from here that New Orleans is not REALLY like that. But when you rely on the government to take care of you...you find that it's not their responsibility!<BR/>New Orleans is a good place! This is why I'm still here...but we have to change! We need to take care of ourselves and not live with our hands out!Mr. Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01635017559452704013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30412896.post-13515672333213687672008-10-15T19:43:00.000-05:002008-10-15T19:43:00.000-05:00Wow.

I wasn't in the Superdome, but the people my husband and I met as we were taking food and ice and water around to them, in places no one knew there WAS anyone, are burned into my head at night too.<BR/><BR/>As for the death toll, in the last four weeks, two "survivors" committed suicide, and this just among my acquaintances. I truly believe they were Katrina casualties. We all had a chunk of ourselves destroyed in that storm. For some the chunk was just too big.<BR/><BR/>Utterly life changing in so many inexpressible ways. I still cry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
