Without a doubt, what’s going on in New Orleans is at the top of a lot of conversations these days. What’s tough is the reaction that a lot of the people took just after the storm left town and everything started to literally fall apart. I still don’t have my mind wrapped around everything that happened, but everyday that passes brings more and more questions and just shaking of my head.
In 1993, the floods hit the midwest. We dealt with it. People gathered together in their home towns to do everything they could to save their homes. Then the national guard showed up. After that, the president came around to various areas and said, “It’s bad.”
I guess what really amazes me is that no one wants the government in their life until disaster strikes. Then the government is to blame. The government should take care of those affected. It’s their fault.
