Entry titled: Thoughts of a Trash Picker at the Houston Astrodome
Dated: 09-05-05


All her other stuff is good too, but this particular piece of her's is just very relevant to what I have been bitching about for the last couple of days.

Although many of the people in the many of the pictures the news media has splattered across the world's television screens are black that single fact does not make them any less human, or any less American. And it also does not make them all violent criminals, either! Please feel free to point out to me any one, single major city that does not have a problem with crime, and a small minority of violent criminals that cause grief for everyone else.

Thank you Jessiebelle for your observations, and insight into the Louisiana people whose lives have been shattered by two major disasters - the first being Hurricane Katrina, and the second, abandonment and betrayal by Federal officials whose job it is to take care of Americans during a disaster.
