Hurricane Katrina

Nine months ago Hurricane Katrina hit. Nine months ago there was devastation. Nine months ago New Orleans and surrounding areas were destroyed. Nine months ago. Does anyone even remember what happened? Does anyone even care? Looking at the video made 2 weeks ago, it doesn't look like it. Today Ellen DeGeneres dedicated her whole show to the aftermath. She went their 2 weeks ago and walked through neighborhoods and talked to the people still there. It looked like it happened yesterday. It looks like nothing has been done. This is America. We are supposed to be the most powerful country in the world. We can go to other countries and help them when they are in need. We can go to a war and oust a tyranical leader and help them build a new country and leadership. But here, in our own country, on our own soil, there is still devestaiton after nine months. The war aside, immigration and even global warming aside (and that takes a lot for me to say), these are people. These are our people. They lost everything. We are suppose to be the land of opportunities, the land of the brave, where are the opportunities for the people that lost everything; where are the brave now, because they are not there helping. I am putting every thing that the Bush Administration has done wrong aside, screw it, because it is the aftermath of Katrina, still nine months later, that shows that they are the worst administration this country will ever see. I whole-heartedly believe that no president before (including his father) and no president after the one we have now would ever let this kind of catastrophe, this kind of ignorance, this kind of disrespect and lack of love still be going on nine months later in our own country, in our home. Never. Don't forget about what happened. Never forget. Don't forget the hurricane. Don't forget the people. Don't forget what the president and his administration hasn't done. Nine months later it shouldn't still look like a war zone. Nine months later it shouldn't look like we don't care.
