Where is the city government in all of this? Should they not
shoulder some of the blame? Or the state? First line of defence
should be the local boys. Why must everything fall on the federal?
People think that the federal government should jump in anytime
anything happens. Are we too reliant upon distant agencies? I
realize that the scope of this incident is beyond comprehension,
but I do not hear about the other communities demanding help. They
are slowly picking up the pieces and rebuilding, where they can.
Whatever happened to self-reliance? Pride in what you could
accomplish for yourself?
My prayers and thoughts go out to the people caught up in this
catastrophe. But, remember, the loss goes beyond the environs of
New Orleans. There are others to help, also.
