All the politics have sucked out any emotion I had for New Orleans. I'm really frustrated with it all. There are lives that need attention and all we get to hear is who fault all this is. It would even seem it wasn't a hurricane that caused this mess it was others. No one wants to just deal with the mess they just want to point fingers and demonize whom ever seems to be a guilty party. So I almost feel I have no emotion about it any more. I have friends who have been effected and the worry I have/had for them is still there. But the over all feelings I have for this is just plain not caring. I don't want to hear the bitching and see people who are in a high stress situation put in a higher one by giving them false facts and giving their high stress opinion thought. I know this isn't a popular opinion and I'm sure I have offended at least one person saying this, but when we turn complete devastation into a political tool we have problems.
With all this there has been one ray of hope. General Honore.
This man stood up for what was right and that was the people who were devastated and those trying so hard to help the devastation. I completely respect this man and at the end of the day he is only ray of hope I have seen in such a mess. If you haven't read any thing about him here is a link to an article on him and what he is doing in New Orleans. Click Here
Anyway, I hope we get to the task at hand and focus on the lives instead of the politics and one upping. There is a time for everything, but playing the blame game isn't helping anyone.
