Horror
The events I've watched unfold in New Orleans over the past week have sickenend me to the core.
What kind of government allows this post-apocalypitc situation to exist whilst having the means to stop it? A government who proclaims themselves "Christian", "civilized", "defenders of freedom"?
Is this all just rhetoric?
Is it just because the victims are poor and African-American? How many days has it taken for the media to even hint at what was so obvious from the pictures?
It illustrates clearly the terrible fact of American life: without money you're worthless to society.
