My heart is breaking

[MrScorpio]

I can't even begin to express my outrage. Anything that I'll say will be wholly inadequate.

I don't know what to say

[jus_the_facts]

1. be forever grateful you don't live in New Orleans today.....

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

4. To me it does'nt matter that I don't live in New Orleans ...

even if I am in North Carolina , I am still living on Planet Earth like the rest of these people . Help us all - this could happen again because who knows what tomorrow will bring .

6. I'm in Northeast Louisiana...my state is dead and dying......

...this is reality...this is really fuckin' happening...this is the gov't workin' hard to help.... :sarcasm:

7. My thoughts go out sincerely to the citizens of your state ..

I really don't know WTF is wrong with ... see I don't know who to pin the blame on ... its always human instinct to place blame - but DAMN - these people have been left there without NOTHING - they are just standing with nothing . Call Jimmy Carter - where is Jimmy Carter ?

2. I don't know what to say either Mr.Scorpio ...

I am just in shock number one because this is happening in AMERICA for crying out loud ..

5. It's revolting

on so many levels.

I feel so terribly for the people left in NO and having to face this "help." Where's the compassion? Where's the sympathy and understanding? Where's the practical help?

[MrScorpio]

8. I've survived hurricanes

But what I had to go through was NOTHING compared to NO

This is horror in its purest form

America has failed these people, and as a result has failed us all.



There but for the grace of God go us all

9. Mine, too.

I never thought this could happen in my America.

10. I saw a little tiny girl on TV: the fear and distress in her eyes

I can't f***ing sleep

[Blue Diadem]

11. My heart is breaking too. I keep going from crying to anger

to this awful feeling of total despair for not having the ability to help them.

[bicentennial_baby]

12. Yep, same here papi

:hug:

13. Mine is in tiny jagged pieces

but thank the gods for the mayor - he isn't shutting up and he's furious and he's speaking a lot of truth.

Talk about speaking truth to power.... and he isn't mincing any words.

Khash.
