The Storm - Katrina

A word about Katrina.

My heart goes out to all those who have been displaced. The tragedy is immense. I am mortified by the lackadaisical response. On the other hand, I am equally mortified by the sub-human lawlessness that reared it's ugly head to take advantage of the situation. Another case for Total Depravity.

For the record, I am completely against forcibly removing people from their home. If the home is safe to live in I don't see why the people would have to leave. If the city condemns the property the owner has the right to bring the home into compliance. I should stop this now, it's never good when I talk politics.

If you've read my other blog, you know that I have been looking for my father in New Orleans. He hasn't shown up on any of the survivor lists that I have found. In case you haven't read the other blog, I have never met my father, and only know for sure that he lived there in 1963. So, he could be living somewhere else or already deceased for all I know.
