"How can you have the mess we have in New Orleans, and not have had deep investigations of the federal government, the state government, the city government, and the failure of citizenship in the Ninth Ward, where 22,000 people were so uneducated and so unprepared, they literally couldn't get out of the way of a hurricane." (emphasis mine)
Comments, anybody? I'm just at a total loss for words, here.

Date: 2007-03-05 06:04 pm (UTC)I was in NOLA when Katrina hit, was stuck there for nine days,shot in the leg by crackheads, had to steal a jeep and evac. I got stranded in Beaumont TX just in time for a direct hit from Hurricane Rita. I have been denied any help from the gov't...without a FEMA number, I was unable to get help from any of the other agencies and groups.
I tried living in NOLA for seven months post-K, and couldn't find a place to live or a job, so was forced to leave the city I love and start over with nothing. I have severe mental and physical health problems to this day, thanks entirely to the Republicans. I can't think of a punishment bad enough to satisfy me and my friends for the loss of our beloved city.
