Katrina Rant

Everyone remembers 9/11 and the tragedy that accured even columbine now we have katrina. Why does this not seem to be effecting people in the same way. More people will or have died then in both combined. Is it becouse we couldn't see it happen and there wasn't that shock and aww factor of the other two events? Add to the fact that these people who actualy did escape now have no place to go september 11th was 2 buildings katrina was closer to a nuclear bomb blast think heroshima. OR is the problem that we have just become hardened to the bad things and numb to them? All the people who got in a huff over farenheit 9/11 should be 10 times more pissed about the lack of response with katrina. The fact that instead of putting power back to the city they first had to get power to the oil refineries pushing back essential services for days so we could still pay $3.00 a gallon for gas instead of worrying about the people who remained in the city. And to top it off former first lady barbara bush said "What I’m hearing which is sort of scary is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality."
"And so many of the people in the arena here, you
know, were underprivileged anyway, so this--this (she
chuckles slightly) is working very well for them." There you have it in a society were they wont show coffins or body bags come home so that we wont boycott the war unlike what the public saw during vietnam making it a very unpopular war by seeing what was realy happening every night on the news we are being sheltered or is it lied to? Come on people the war (or should i say wars remember we are still loosing people in affganistan as all this is happening) is a joke, the katrina effort wasn't even an effort, they ignored constant threats before 9/11 i give up anything else this guy has to do before something changes. One side note why is it that i still see bill clinton trying to help people before bush he was at ground zero first, he is trying to rework the world bank, he is working for the g8 summitt to help end extreme poverty, he was helping with the last hurricane relief effort. Why does it seem the only president we have doing anything is the one who is not only out of office but was impeached. Yeah bush rules.
