Personally I'm beginning to believe that "The Greatest Country on Earth" has either been all smoke and mirrors, or the rest of the world is a total latrine. I'm ashamed at the slow or even effective response to this situation. People have been milling around in waist deep sewage for four days now, and the rest of the Country wants the heads of those who "looted" a meal from Piggly Wiggly. Clothes and TV, sure shoot 'em. Listening to NPR on the way home from work, some of the stuffed shirts interviewed didn't know the condition of folks holed up in the Convention Center. It's HELL in there, rape of a 10 year old, bodies of the elderly, muggings No food No water No Cops No friggin' clue. It's eight blocks from thr Super Dome! Our "Officials need to be rotated out. They knew this was about to happen, yet their thumbs were sat on. As I said , I'm ashamed and angry as hell. God help those poor folks, the Government sure as hell can't. That was my political rant for the year, don't take it personally.
