hurricane katrina: 2 years later

on the way into work this morning, there were so many media outlets discussing the disaster we experienced as a "nation" 2 years ago to the date. obviously, the anger and fury that boiled inside of me then was rekindled in its fullest form as i listened and re-lived the tragedy of the natural disaster. the images, interviews, tears, children crying, death...etc etc that cnn covered day and night will forever be burned into my brain. one word.......UNACCEPTABLE. and there has yet to be an official apology to my knowledge. there is no secret that the situation was fumbled SEVERAL times by many individuals. but, no one is man (or woman) enough to take the blame for it. it's easier to point fingers. the poor fema director who got railroaded and fired was supposed to satisfy the "people". but, it wasn't all his fault. if we are firing people who messed up, we need to line people up and hand out numbered tickets. president bush gets ticket number 1.

one comment stuck out though, and i cannot remember who said it. but the gentleman said that "if it were up to me, someone would go to prison. but it's not up to me"!!! there is no argument against these words........PERIOD!!! as a "first-world nation", there is no reason that the amount of death and suffering went on and continues 2 WHOLE YEARS LATER!!! but...................i guess it's nice to know where you stand huh?
