Is there anyone to blame?
| Wed, 09-07-2005 - 9:23am |
Hurricane Katrina came and went. Thousands of people have been affected by nature. Over the last few weeks, I've heard the "blame" game. Who didn't get there quick enough, and why the leveys broke, and on and on. I don't believe it's as simple as any one answer. I do feel, however -- I may be wrong -- but, the United States isn't prepared for this type of emergency. This is one that simply was misjudged in its intensity.

I wish I had to time to drive down for a week and help.
Leila,
Isn't that sad?
This governor thing is bothering me because she did make the calls for help. There was a lady on CNN last night who said she called and said "we need everything you got." They didn't send it.
The lady also made a good point when she said "you don't let a man die because he didn't ASK for CPR. I'm sure the gov. had family and friends of her own there, why wouldn't she ask for the help needed. We only hear what 'they' want us to hear, you know?
Things weren't lined up the way they 'should've' been, that's all there was to it. No governor is going to sit back and do nothing, that's preposterous.
I'm only posting this here because there were so many posts, I didn't want to go back and re-read them all to do it, ladycee.
