Not just the VXer's affected by Katrina...but EVERYONE!
I think I'm numb from all the images of the aftermath.

So scary, I pray for us all. Sometimes it feels like it is going to be the end of the world. Hope not.

I've been to Mardi Gras in "Narlan's" as they say..back in 1992. I had a blast. I'm so saddened by this. What a city with such great history and culture. I think the only way they can rebuild New Orleans is by constructing a higher levy and possibly another three levies behind that one. Everything else along the coast will have to be leveled. They may even have to make sections of the city similar to Venice with Canals and walkways only. No cars.

I'm with CYRK, with all the bad juju going on world wide, sometimes it seems like "the begining of the end". I'm ever hopeful that humanity in general will soon have the sence to take a step back, & a careful look at where we're headed.
I have "kinfolk" in LA. & my thoughts & prayers are with them all.

I believe in God.
I also believe that God maintains a balance to all things.
I believe that this country is being taught a lesson.
Last year Florida was pummeled, now New Orleans.

We have advertised ourselves long enough that "we are the greatest" and we will spread our views of freedom throughout the world. This is wrong of us to assume that every country feels the same. Sure, there is injustice everywhere. Poverty everywhere, even the poverty in the U.S. has risen since last year...now add all the people displaced because of Katrina.
Forecasters knew eventually a massive flood like this could happen. Plans were in the works for the levy to be strengthend and stabilized, but those plans were scrapped when Bush got into office.
What comes around goes around.
We destroyed Iraq. Yes, Saddam was a dictator, but there was a sense of order there. There were no WMDs, anyway. All lies to get us over there for the oil.
Corporate greed has destroyed this country. "The American Dream"...guess what..it was just that...."a dream".

Although I feel for everyone down there.....

I am absolutely DISGUSTED at the visions I'm seeing on TV! I guess something like this is god and or natures way of "Thinning Out The Heard"!!!

I can't even imagine what people in other countries think of us "Americans" as they watch this mayhem continue! I'd even venture to say that some are LAUGHING at us right now!

Riots, Rape, looting, crime, cops turning in thier badges and joining in, dead bodies robbed, rescuers trying to HELP getting shot at! .... THE LIST GOES ON!

If you are trying to "survive" down there, may peace be with you!

For those taking advantage and for those who partake in these criminal acts.....Your time will come soon enough and I hope it's slow and painful!

I sincerely appologize if this post offends anyone but words cannot describe the disgust I feel as I watch this unfold. This is HORRIBLE!!! :nor:
