This is America??????
I've been so busy with work and school for the past few days and today is the first chance I've really had to just sit and watch what's going on in NO. It just boggles my mind that we live in AMERICA and THIS is the best we can do for these people????

Holy fuck!! Is it just me or does anyone remember a LOT more organization after the tsunami hit in a POOR country?? I just can't believe the shit I've seen going on and how ineffective this POS administration has been this week. I don't know whether to sob uncontrollably or punch a hole in the wall right now :mad: :cry:

2. I JUST said that about the tsunami to my mom
Third World countries responded better than the US.....

Also, my mom is a nurse, and said some idiot on the news earlier said diseases aren't caused by dead bodies. Ha! Cholera, etc.....

5. Because this is OUR disaster and we have IDIOTS running things
Edited on Thu Sep-01-05 12:34 PM by SoCalDem
The tsunami disaster relief was NOT run by US.. Bush ran away from it, remember??and then offered a pittance until he was shamed into offering more..

This is how WE handle disaster in the era of Homeland security.

6. REALITY is- there are parts of the US that ARE third world countries-
but we hide and deny them till they get in 'our' faces-

SHAME on the righteous rich- (not the rich in general- the ones i speak about know who they are, and deny responsibility while cursing the poor for their lot)
