Sadness

I'm sure I don't have to tell you, New Orleans is sad. An entire city wiped out and the god damned government doesn't give a rat's ass. I can't imagine how our American brothers and sisters feel who have been displaced. Who are starving and lack a place to go. I don't know how I would feel to just want to go home and know that there's no home to go to. To know that my entire life will not be the same again. And on top of that, there's a race problem. The top to that can of worms was pryed wide open by Hurricane Katrina wasn't it? There's plenty of blame to go around, but there shouldn't be. For those of you idealists who turned your nose up at racism in America...I don't know any better proof than what's on the news now, do you?

I'm ashamed of our government. I woke up this morning and my eyes were puffy, I felt like I'd been crying in my sleep. I felt overwhelmingly sad. I feel it is my penance to watch the gruesome footage. To reach in my near-broke pocket and pitch in the little pennies I have to help. I am deeply, deeply moved. Dear W., just add the Katrina victims to your body count.
