guess who bears the brunt of America's tsunami?


Randomly clicking through Blogger’s blogs, I note they’re mostly American, and a fair percentage of them proclaim praise of the lord as their primary purpose. Still, I came across some fine original material, with naturally much about Katrina. Lots of anger about the local and federal authorities’ lack of response and support for those (the vast majority of them black) trapped in New Orleans and elsewhere. Lots of directives were issued, but those who couldn’t afford to follow these directives got short shrift – and the federal authorities, according to this finely enraged site, have been stinting on providing money for levees to protect New Orleans for years. It’s occasions like these, sadly, that really expose that country’s great divide.
