bushwhacked


This is what makes the world a depressing junkyard to live in.

In case you were wondering, the caption of this picture (credits: weekendTODAY, September 3 - 4, 2005, Mediacorp Press, incorporating Streats, pg 12) says "Ms Sarah Johnson yells for someone to help her patient - for whom she provides in-house care - outside the Convention Center in New Orleans. Many of the old and sick have been left stranded in the wake of the hurricane."

"Is this really America?", the title of this article proposes. In the wake of this freaking disaster, Bush had better be doing something. Tardy response is correct.
I feel like shit. I want to do something. But no. I can't. There are too many to help. People are like rats in Superdome stadium. Help has been slow to come. Is this the American dream? Highly probable that this is the American nightmare.

"A year ago, the US army corps of engineers proposed to study how New Orleans could be protected from a catastrophic hurricane, but the Bush administration ordered that the research not be undertaken".

Sad.

Hardly do I sound so sombre, serious. But this is my take on life. It's selfish. It's every man for himself.
