I really don't know how to say what I feel about the aftermath of Katrina. I'm beyond sadness, regret and even rage that this was allowed to happen. Right now, all I can say is I feel numb. We watched people die on the news. We heard stories of people sitting, waiting for help that never came. That is still not there. I've watched people go on with their day to day lives while wondering how they could even go shopping when people are STILL DYING out there. I have no friends or family in New Orleans but I feel like I lost someone close and while that is not true, I did lose something. I lost the little faith I had in mankind. For this to happen and everyone not be enraged shows that we as humans are heading to a place darker than I could ever imagine. How can you watch this happen right in front of your eyes and defend the people who had the power to prevent it from getting to this point? How can you say those people deserve what they are getting because they didn't leave when they were told they should? How can you feel the least bit apathetic to their situaton? I've been asking these questions since day one and I haven't heard a good answer yet. Everytime I see the news or read a story about this I cry because this COULD HAVE BEEN SOLVED BY NOW. Maybe it could have been prevented but it happened and those people need help. They need help.

Watch this video . Thanks Bunny . If it dosen't make you feel angry in the slightest, then maybe there is something wrong with me.

I don't believe in organized religion. I don't believe in the Bible. I believe there is a higher power and I have prayed to it over and over. I've prayed for those peoples lives and I have prayed for help for myself in understanding why this is happening. I still don't understand, and I don't think I ever will. I don't think I want to.
