katrina

What a sad, disgusting, scar on the face of this nation; people, so many people, abandoned on the days after katrina, tens of thousands left to fend for themselves at the places they were told to evacuate to, a 7 year old child carrying his 2 year old brother to a bus that wasn't there; Rats eating dead bodies on the street, gentle saints in squalor, lying on filth, with the stench of feces in hot air, no water, no food... for days....and there are no words to describe the contempt upon authorities. The incompetence and utter lack of motivation upon those entrusted to serve and protect, is a disgrace. Yet look good and look hard at the desperate faces fleeing death and pain, it is voices of anguish and despair like those that define need and the measure of which, our own worth.
