The fabric of the life in New Orleans is torn. No leaders have emerged and all the politicians are nervous, they hope that the anger and frustration that have come from the human and preventable failures is not directed toward them.

What does it take for our government to respond to the fact that a major city in our heartland has been almost destroyed? The people need help. The problem is bigger than the small minds that hold power. We need a leader not a politician.

Is it more important to make war across the oceans than take care of our folks at home? The more it sinks in, the more I realize that this indeed is the fall of an empire. Too bad it's my country and the legacy for my children.

New Orleans continues, the culture there is stronger than the lies. The people are smarter than the media, they saw for themselves the way the story was covered and they know the truth. They know the fear in night, they know it may happen again. So the party goes on...

Seeing the level of destruction in NOLA and lack of response to it just goes to show ya where Bush's priorites and our tax dollars really are. Shame. What brings hope for the future is the community response, people helping each other out in any small way they can.
