Comments and thoughts about life from the trailing edge. (NOTE: "My version of the truth has been hard earned through experiences and interpretations shared by no other. Honor it or not, as you choose, but don't blame me for not accepting your truth as my own. You earned it...I did not.")
Patriot For Peace
Liberal Agenda
Dailyread says
The world needs people to be critical thinkers, capable of sifting through the daily barrage of sound bites and visuals that misrepresent reality to cull out the occasional gem of truth that sneaks through.
If you are unlucky enough to catch a cab that is being driven by a politician, you will get to the end of your ride late, pay ten times what the trip was worth, and be standing in unfamiliar surroundings as the cabbie drives away.

How One Veteran Feels
A lack of combat experience does not diminish the pride I feel for having served during a contentious period in the history of my Nation, nor does it lessen the sadness that fills me each day our war fighting men and women remain in harm's way.
Conflict Resolution is work best reserved for mature, responsible adults. God willing, we will eventually see that type of individual assume a place of respect within the Halls of Congress and, hopefully, take control of a deeply blemished White House.

What do you mean senseless? Don't you think that the fact that they lived 7 feet below sea level that these folks knew that someday they were going to be faced w/ this type of tragedy? I think that it is senseless that the levies weren't reinforced like what was being asked by the Louisianna Senators and other politicians. I think that it is senseless that so many people are still left to die, that the inmates were released - that there wasn't a better plan? There were three days to prepare for the worst-
It was senseless because there were years to prepare by fulfilling the plans for raising and reinforcing the levees. The diversion of funding and the lack of political will to persist on the projects that might not be politically expedient are the reason this situation occured.
The spotlight will eventually swing to the next political powder keg, which is the use of depleted uranium munitions in Iraq, and the effect it is having on our ground troops (not to mention the civilian population of the countries we have dumped it on).
If anything good comes from all this political ineptitude, it will be a complete reworking of the system.
