Whenever something really bad happens we, as human beings, try to find someone to blame. Everyone does it - since you were a kid whenever something happened you said "i didn't do it", or "Billy did it"(pointing to an infant who couldn't even reach the counter where the cookies used to be). Sometimes people blame God when there is no one else to put the blame on--when something can not be explained. This is what is happening now abou thte post-hurricane problems. Everyone wants to blame everybody else. Why can't we just say "no one knew what to do" why not everyone take the blame and get on with it. Things are being done - it was just that initial time between the storm and 3 days later when things started happening BIG TIME. I think everyone was in shock, stunned and no one knew which way to turn. Who would have thought that we would have to find places for a million five hundred thousand people? who would have thought a whole city could be destroyed. If it was nuclear or biological- you would not have the living to contend with (thank God it wasn't that) but i think we were prepared for everything but 1.5 million living and needing life sustaining help.

Stop blaming Govt., Christians, Muslims, God or whoever else you can think of - it's no one's fault, it happened---now open up your hearts and wallets and get going to DO something about it!

Okay - off the soapbox
