Anyone else having a "Dude, Where's My Country?" moment? [View All]

[spooked]

Watching the coverage of the people affected by Hurricane Katrina, I am SHOCKED at the level of poverty, and I am feeling a sense of deep mourning, not only for those suffering in this tragedy, but also for the death of an idea that I had believed so long...that this country is the Land of Opportunity.

These people had NO MONEY IN THEIR POCKETS or a car to get out of there and save their lives...

I am SHOCKED as I watch this footage that this is The United States of America that I am seeing...

And as gasoline went up to $3.17 today I wonder how much longer it will be the Land of Opportunity for those of us who have been more fortunate.
