Enough is Enough
IS this America? What makes America America? What defines us?
The situation in the south is appauling. We are now a week into this and the situation is STILL going the wrong way. As far as I can see there is absolutely no excuse for the lack of leadership, the lack of organization, the raw lack of plain old help. I am disgusted by the fact that a week later we cant manage to get these people out of there. We are the wealthiest most technologically advanced country on earth but we just cant manage to get people out of a flooded city. It’s beyond belief.
I am sure I have no concept of what is happeing and the extent of the situation. I realize it is hard to get resources to a flooded city. But you cant simply cant tell me that we can send a ship from the North Pole to the South Pole, through very thick ice but we cant get a ship up the river to get people out? I just dont buy it.
This is a terrible display America. We should all be questioning our safety and preparedness. We should all be questioning our leadership.
This is a very, very sad week. My heart, thoughts and prayers are with those people.
