Most of what I know of the Mayor's reports came from my friend who is here from the Point. He is the one who kept me posted. It is still amazing to me that something so devastating happened here on US soil. But what really surprises me is that it has taken so long for our country to do anything to help. I have to admit that we are a nation of "finger-pointers" and instead of trying to fix what is broken, the government would rather sit and argue about whose fault is was to begin with. I wish someone would just say "Ok, this hurricane has happened, it has come and gone and come again(Rita), now we just need to focus on how to rebuild and make these places livable again and get these residents back where they belong!!" But no one will just take the initiative... At one point I had to stop watching all of the Katrina reports only cause I could not stop crying for all those in need.
