Bush And Cabinet Sing -
'It Is Well With My Soul'
Samuel Johnson once remarked: "The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good."
A generalized stereotyping and labeling of the 'others'; as the "herd, human resources, simpletons, vermin, breeders, criminals, dope addicts, drunks, pimps and whores"; excuses them from all bias, prejudice, and malignant contempt.
Obviously wealth covers a multitude of sins.
Condi was shopping, playing tennis, and attending a Broadway show. President Bush was still on vacation, and Vice-President Cheney was fly fishing, in the pristine streams of Wyoming; and so missed the elderly couple scrambling to escape the flood waters, when 21 hours after the hurricane hit, the levees suddenly gave way. Residents reported hearing a loud explosion, at 4:00 am Tuesday morning, Aug 3O. Then according to the Mayor, the pumping station in the city's poorest section - the lower 9th ward failed, and then the Industrial canal levee gave way in the 9th ward, a few hours later. Meantime the people who survived the hurricane unscathed; rushed to escape the flood waters, from levees poorly maintained by officials they trusted (all levels) to do their jobs.
The water rose so quickly and most never had a chance.
With hug a Black week over - the lights all on (they're not) and the smell of money in the air, it's rebuild the Gulf (minus the poor) bigger and better, and let the good times roll. According to reporters; as of Sept 16, 05, the bloated swollen bodies; of those who won't make it into this Casino - Mardi Gras - Corporate theme park - of this new Jerusalem; are still mired in the thick chemically laden - muck and mire, of the poor sections of New Orleans, being chewed on by rats - dogs - and alligators.
