Katrina Was MY Fault!

I'll admit it.

I did it.

I caused Katrina. I was responsible for the torrent of water & wind that completely inundated New Orleans & leveled most of southwest Mississippi. I was the one who dumbfounded the New Orleans Emergency Management Operations and the one who interruped the flow of information from FEMA to the local & state authorities.

I did it all.

Now, you have a confession so maybe this will keep you from blaming God, blaming President George W. Bush, blaming FEMA, or blaming the rich white bigots.

Here's a newsflash: Nobody OWES you anything. You must take responsibility for all the actions you did or did NOT do....such as "making like Noah and getting the FLOCK out of New Orleans" when every weather bureau in the country was giving descriptions of what would happen to buildings, trees, and canals before the catagory 4 storm made landfall.

So many in the storm area was expecting something I would call a, "McStorm" instead of what really plowed through their city. So many expected an arsenal of rescue personnel to be standing on their guard around the perimiter of the city to immediately surge in after the storm surge to rescue them after they REFUSED to leave town after the warnings.

I have no problem with those who chose to stay & ride out the storm. But don't go blaming anyone other than yourself for what happens if you do. It is no different than not voting and then complaining about the unfairness of the voting system. It's just not consistent.

Personally, I can think of no other man to have at the helm of this country than George W. Bush during these last several years. And for that matter, while I would prefer not to be in any catastrophy, I can think of no better country to endure a catastrophy than the United States of America.
