COMPLETE REGRESSION
welcome to New Orleans....
what type of comparison would you like to draw? Hiroshima? Pompeii? Sodom & Gomorrah? Chernobyl?
the short of it is this: New Orleans is finished. and, considering the events of the last few days (that's right -- it's only been a few days), it should stay finished. don't rebuild it.
hey, I thought this was the information age? listen, in a very short time there has been a complete breakdown of society as we know it in New Orleans.... I'm not talking about the people looting what's left down there.... given the situation, most of that is merely survival -- which really brings me to my point.... this city has known for a very long time that a direct hit from a hurricane would be catastrophic. and what we've seen after Katrina is the result of years of careful planning? not only did the government fail to get everybody out, but they now appear more concerned with stopping looting than preserving the lives of human beings. and, to boot, they've got their collective hand out for charity....
people stealing in order to (for the most part, anyway) stay alive. riots. rape. shots fired. probably murder. mob rule.
the unbelieveably poor planning by the city of New Orleans and the state of Louisiana is a hideous embarrassment to America. for that matter, so is our so-called president, who only yesterday elected to return from his vacation. YESTERDAY??? VACATION??? are you going to try to tell me that son-of-a-bitch didn't know there was a category 5 storm bearing down on an American city which existed (yes, past tense) below sea-level?
the price of gas has skyrocketed this year, and escalated after this week's events. and George W. Futard goes on vacation?
THIS COUNTRY IS IN A FUCKING CRISIS ! !
forget about the Big Easy, people.... it's gone, and the people who remain there did so by CHOICE. wanna feel sorry for someone? there's already Americans starving in our cities.... and the price of a gallon of gas has now surpassed the cost of a gallon of milk.
does anyone but me realize that in about 4 weeks there's going to be an awful lot of hard working people who won't be able to eat -- because petroleum prices will cause a cascading domino effect on what's left of our so-called economy?
prepare for hard times, America. I fear this is just the tip of the iceberg.
I'd like you all to say hello to the new American....
