AS I SEE IT...

Dare to hope...

May we hope that Hurricane Katrina wiped out the urban decay that was to be created when New Orleans city planners', decades ago, decided to build housing projects? Dare I hope...

That's enough for now.

I'm conflicted about a total forced evactuation of New Orleans, but only because I don't trust the Federal Government officials... they just don't tell the truth... and these people who won't leave haven't even seen the horrible pictures of how everyone else suffered in the Superdome and the Convention center... or maybe they have and that is why they don't want to go anywhere with them... who knows?

I am also conflicted about the announcement that the people in the Astrodome will get a $2000.00 credit card... watch some fun when the food stamp benefit people decide that they are not qualified for this or that because they were given the $2000.00.

I wish I didn't distrust American government employees and elected officials - but I do, every last single one of them.
