Sometimes the Truth hurts. To wit: Hurricane Katrina exposed the grotesquely crippled extent of societal deformity in these United States of America--and we've got the growing body count to prove it...


Bloated bodies rot
Lethal fetid stench pervades

Excellent perspective Carolyn! methinks you can fault all government leaders with this one starting with the Governor and on up...Even if it is the worst disaster, it shows how ill prepared we were. If only now we turn our energies to improvement and not division.
