Since the storm, those who are willing to work to restore their city have done so. So many down here are simply waiting for the next handout. There were so many jobs available here after Katrina that there really is no excuse. The media has put the spotlight on the "helpless," which I think makes this new America you speak of seem so much worse than it really is.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for caring, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16914335.post-49353156932512382252007-07-13T23:14:00.000-04:002007-07-13T23:14:00.000-04:00Well put Clayton.

I was listening to Dan Kahns song "Desire and Law" today at work, and just about broke down and cried to think of a land I love so much being so neglected,so bereft of the love and attention is so desperately needs.<BR/><BR/>I do believe it's time for another "poster reminder". I suggest that everyone go to Corbis.com, search for "Hurricane katrina", find the most horrible pictures they have (and they have quite a few heart wrenching pics) and make up fliers to remind people of what still is of a great concern.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16394056957171485464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16914335.post-51437473713070096662007-06-16T08:53:00.000-04:002007-06-16T08:53:00.000-04:00Hey, nice to see you post.

I've made several rebuilding visits there and I challenge you all to do the same. We can make the turnaround happen, one volunteer at a time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16914335.post-46875047274391413392007-06-12T21:25:00.000-04:002007-06-12T21:25:00.000-04:00here's a song for healing...www.fscc-calledtobe.or...here's a song for healing...<BR/><BR/>www.fscc-calledtobe.org/living.aspAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16914335.post-51277305961697808612007-06-12T12:08:00.000-04:002007-06-12T12:08:00.000-04:00Amen, Clayton.

The way in which this administration has dismissed such a large part of American heritage and culture within the city of New Orleans is a loss to the entire country. Not doing right by New Orleans is shameful. I am especially nervous about big industries coming in and taking the land away from the people in the Ninth Ward. That seems to be their game plan after all.<BR/><BR/>I thank you for spreading the word.<BR/><BR/>Be well and enjoy the day.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836716475835685334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16914335.post-22131534857129763512007-06-11T08:02:00.000-04:002007-06-11T08:02:00.000-04:00I ask that same question everyday.
