Flooding, Looting, Shooting -- Ohhhh My

I am sure that this post will piss off quite a few people, like that has stopped me before…

Now as much as I feel for the victims of Hurricane Katrina -- I can’t imagine losing everything that I have, nor (more importantly) the people who mean the world to me.

But -- New Orleans is a city that is built below sea level and that is able to survive ---- blah, blah, blah -- levee system.

When your city is being evacuated, do me a favor -- LEAVE!!! Not sure, maybe someone can fill me in on this, why on earth -- would you stay after your city is being evacuated. I have watched for the days leading up to this hurricane, time after time people (with children!) -- staying -- no big deal.

Well, now it is a big deal -- HUGE DEAL!

The American people will surely, donate money, relief, you name it for the city to rebuild and aid the people that have survived -- however, I find it absolutely disgusting that in a time of devastation, a time where human life is trying to be saved, a time that is make or break -- that selfish-sick people are looting, firing shoots at relief aid -- And why is it, that most of the people I have seen very a variety of news sources are black -- what is up with the behavior, and why isn’t anyone from the black community standing up and talking about it -- there has been disasters in the past that have struck communities that ethnic make up was not black -- and those people did not shoot at relief, loot stores, demand immediate relief -- when infact, they were given opportunity to leave prior to the act.

And this whole time I can not get the words of that damn Led Zeppelin song out of my head…..
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break, [X2]

When The Levee Breaks I'll have no place to stay.

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan, [X2]

Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home,

Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well.

Don't it make you feel bad

When you're tryin' to find your way home,

You don't know which way to go?

If you're goin' down South

They got no work to do,

If you don't know about Chicago.

Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,

Now, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,

When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move.

All last night sat on the levee and moaned, [X2]

Thinkin' about me baby and my happy home.

Going, going to Chicago... Going to Chicago...

Sorry but I can't take you..

Going down... going down now... going down....
