Time to shake things up people..

I don't know, for all the talk about preparedness that we have been hearing since 9-11, I guess that I'm just a little disenchanted with this Katrina mess. Now I grant you the people were forwarned about it and should have left when they had the chance. The only problem with that theory is there were so many people who were not capable of leaving for whatever reason, whether it be from being with a loved one who was in the hospital, absolutely no transportation to get out of town or just plain old bad luck, it just didn't happen. A lot of people have been listening to Big Brother for so long about how he is going to protect us that they have become dependent on him for so many things and as Lilred said, when you start depending on someone else you are leaving yourself open for a whole lot of disappointment, because when push comes to shove you're way down on the totem pole and there is nothing on God's green Earth that is going to change that. I guess I was expecting more out of the Government, but then I get to thinking about the mass numbers of people that live there and when the levee broke there just was no chance to get them people out. It is just a good thing that as many people left as they did or the death toll would be a whole lot higher than what it is going to be. Thank God for that.
