Comments on: Katrina http://www.whereistheoutrage.net/wordpress/2009/09/01/katrina-2/ Thoughtful, intelligent, entertaining, progressive discussion about politics, sports and whatever Thu, 09 Feb 2012 12:03:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Robert http://www.whereistheoutrage.net/wordpress/2009/09/01/katrina-2/comment-page-1/#comment-60675 Robert Sun, 06 Sep 2009 03:45:24 +0000 http://www.whereistheoutrage.net/wordpress/?p=10390#comment-60675 Here is a novel idea, how about not living below sea level? Here in S. FL we have had the barn doors knocked off our ass more than once. Know what? we get up, go out and pick up, clean up, rebuild and get ready for the next one. It's tough I know, but if you are going to adhere to the entitlement mentality that the government is somehow utterly responsible for resolving all of your issues, then you must prepare yourself for a long future of dissapointment. I would'nt wish a hurricane on anyone, well maybe usama bin laden, but no one in America. I have been through a few and they are scary beyond all reason, but a lot of the damage to NOLA was caused by the levees failing. Come on man the place is below sea level. That is just begging for a spanking. Ultimately the responsibilities for your community should lie within your state and your community, not the federal government.

Anderson Cooper implored us at a speech in 2006 to not let the Amer. people forget Katrina. I was a tourist stuck in the Superdome during Katrina and his inspiration helped push me to complete my 2008 book, "Diary From the Dome, Reflections on Fear and Privilege During Katrina" in which I talk about human behavior at its best and worst, the racism I observed, as well as lessons we can all learn from Katrina. Am back in NOLA right now visiting this most soulful city and have pledged 25% of all of my book profits to local non-profit orgs. Peace to all of you.
