�:: What...the...hell.... ::�

It's been a while since i have written. I had some friends in New Orleans, and friends who had family there as well. I am amazed at what is going on down in that area of the country after Hurricane Katrina swept through.

I am so at a loss for words it bothers me. This whole thing bothers me. I don't feel like I can do enough.

I cannot figure out a logical explanation of why it has taken so long for New Orleans to recieve any help at all, and from what I can see, it isn't doing a whole lot of good, and it's still very little. I am amazed at how poorly our government aid has been assembled and still is unable to give a straight answer as to why they could not at least dropped food sooner than they have. I don't get it. Maybe what Kanye West said is true, but I sure as hell hope not. That would be even more aggrivating. I already watch the media getting pissed off cause it seems like Bush really doesn't care, as he talks about how long it is going to take to rebuild everything with a giant smirk on his face. I have trouble believing anything he says because of that.

Today I heard about a man who tried to help a woman who was being raped and stabbed in the superdome, he apparently ran out to get help from troops, but they didn't stop so he tried to jump up on one of their vehicles, and they shot him in the head. What the hell. This is starting to sound more like a concentration camp, than a rescue. I really hate to go there, but seriously, what the hell is going on. I had some friends who lived down there, I have not heard from them still. Luckily, another of my friends family made it out safely before the storm hit.

You want to talk about shock and awe, that's what this is. Truly, disturbing.
