As most of you know, there's a hurricane coming our way. It's a strong category 5 hurricane. The max I've seen with this storm was 190mph. It might have went down but it's still a cat 5.
I'm in Houston right now.

New Orleans is totally fucked. We're already below sea level and the landscape is like a bowl.

I hope we have a home to go home to...

Those jacked in the Matrix, do the rang-rang dance for me haha.

I dunno, but I felt a hint of conservative right wing inspired things from that e-mail.
Actually, that e-mail kinda bothers me. The way I understood it, that e-mail is saying that becuase of social stratification, becuase you are a minority, becuase you come from an impoverished area, because your poor, becuase of so many factors that can not be controlled by one single person its your fault that all the bad things that have occured in the wake of hurricane Katrina have happened.

I'm sorry but I can't seem to find a way to say this in a much more eloquent manner. I think thats a bunch of bullshit. It seems pretty obvious that the author of the e-mail hasn't lived in poverty stricken area so therefore I don't think he can understand the plight of the people who come from the ghetto and projects. The racism and Jim Crow laws of the past have been replaced by prejudice and social pitfalls. He goes to say to say that becuase these people have lived off of welfare that they don't understand the value of ownership. More bullshit. He is already assuming that everyone who came from these projects didn't have jobs and weren't getting paid 6 dollars an hour for some 12 hour a day job in hopes that they would someday be able to move out of the projects or the ghetto. While I do agree with some points from the e-mail though.

It would be wrong to solely blaim the president becuase it is our fault as a society as well. We ourselves let these type of things happen. But since the president is the one who is in a position to change these things we blame him for not doing anything. In fact, If I recall correctly our beloved president was on vacation the day Katrina hit and didn't get "back to work" till 4 days later. Fucking Dick.

The problems of Katrina stem from a much more dynamic reason then becuase "people from the hood have no respect." Katrina was a man made disaster, but not from the people who lived in the projects, but everyone.
