I'm a refugee. Or that's what I keep hearing people call all the evacuees from the New Orleans area. That's fine...never been called that before... so you know... whatever. I, like most others who know and love this city are devestated by what has happened, eyes glued to the tv (or ears to the radio) watching the rescues, hoping for help to come to the people waiting in the Superdome and Convention Center, trying to figure out what neighborhoods those camera shots were taken, looking in horror as our neighborhoods burn with nothing being able to do about it, and the city just being run into the ground by the few crazy bastards who went on a mad rampage of violence and destruction. Oh and the levees, those genius' who built them thought it would be more cost efficient to design them to withstand a maximum category 3 storm. Well that's just stupid and wrong in the most moral sense. Now everyone is finding homes in other towns and cities. I'm so upset because this once beautiful city has been turned desposable. People just don't want to deal with it anymore. I can't say that I blame them, it has been an ongoing process for a while. So many people don't care about their neighborhoods, the schools, they would just throw trash anywhere, and now people are actually setting fire to this city. They want it to burn....why are they even there? Well more later, its still not completely sunken in and I haven't been getting any sleep because of all thats been going on. I'm sure it'll get better, because its just the worst that I can imagine right now.
