perspective.
I am going to share something with everyone right now that might put everything that we're feeling right now into a little bit of perspective for all of us. There has been a lot of heated debates and harsh feelings over the lack of action by all levels of the government and I respect you all for the fact that this seems to have put a strain on everyones feelings.
The pictures that you see on the news are heartbreaking and disturbing, and unfortunaely they are out there.
The only thing that I can feel right now is proud that 1) I am a member of this great country, and 2) that i realized when my 6 year old son came up to me with his bank and told me to give it to the 'sad children' that everyone is feeling this on different levels as well. Mark III, you are feeling that your president is under attack. Aggiegurl it seems that you are feeling that your right to express yourself is under attack, and to a lot of the others you feel lost in the shuffle.
But the one thing that I have noticed is that, all in all, everyone has felt a sense of betrayal that nothing more has been done to help. It has all come down to money or lack thereof. We wonder silently to ourselves what will happen if we are the next to suffer some great catastrophe. Will we be as abandoned as the NOLA residents seem to have been by our elected officials.
I am sorry if I offend anyone with my statements but the only thing I can think of right now, is the face of a 6 year old that just wants to help.
