1. how can we ever trust the Federal Government again? |
|
I've grown increasingly distrustful of the federal government during the Bush administration. But what happened in the Gulf states, particularly NO, is totally off the scales.
It looks like we're on our own. We need to start building grassroots communities to support each other. As for our elected officials, we need to watch them like hawks, hold them accountable like never before, and constantly remind them who they work for.

It's tragic...it's maddening, and Tim Russert makes me :puke:
Mr. Broussard: "Bureaucracy has committed murder here in the Greater New Orleans Area....We need strong leadership at the top of America right now..."
Powerful and courageous statements.
Tim Russert: "Mr. Broussard, let me ask you....hold on, hold on, sir...shouldn't the Mayor of New Orleans, and the Governor of New Orleans (sic) bear some responsiblity? Couldn't they have been much more forceful, much more effective, and much more organized in evacuating the area?"
Fuck you, Bozo.
Swamp Rat, I completely understand. Damn that made me :cry:

I do think we should go into survival mode. I surely don't feel part of the country anymore.

shameful, the way you've been treated.
If you were on your own, at least you would know that and could act accordingly instead of waiting for federal assistance that isn't coming.

I've been saying this since Tuesday.They don't give a damn about us,never have and never will.Mr Broussard is right.It is murder!Genocide! They even tried to get the Governor to sign over the state to the military!And they're turning people away who want to help us. I say get out while we still can.
