Out of the Rubble

I'm sickened at all the finger pointing during this time of utter despair and chaos suffered by so many. The tragic aftermath of Hurricane Katrina has brought out the best . . . and the worst in people and some of the worst is coming from the leadership community.

Federal governnment is a dinosaur who reacts slow. I've worked with both the DoD and EPA in the past and know the amount of red tape. I don't believe the government left the victims in those horrid conditions because they were poor or because they are black and those who want to pursue the issue and point fingers are trying to unravel what the United States is all about.

Yes, there were many many mistakes and most of the them on the local and state levels. The Federal government was too slow in realizing the incompetence and the inadequacies of those supposedly in charge. People died and I'm sorry.

Perhaps it will be handled differently next time. And there will be a next time.

Peace
