Now I've never been a big fan of organized religion, especially those TV preachers or faith healers, but this is just horrible. It sickens me to see it hapening.
KAterina was a disaster. It was a failure of all levels of government.
America as a whole should be banding together right now to help those people. We should be analyzing the failure of the government and correcting what problems there are. We should be studying the issue of poverty in this nation and doing something real about it.
This should not be seen as an oppertunity for the rich to get richer.
But here we are.
Big Jucy contracts for Haliburtan.
Big paydays for oil compagnies.
Big payday for the religious right.
And who gets the screw job?
The poor who were left to drown. The poor who are now left homeless, with a nifty semi working credit card from the gov which has on it just enough money for a few dinners and maybe a couple pairs of clothes. The poor who in a few months will be remembered about as well as Bush remembered Osoma Bin LAden, you know they guy who organized the 9/11 attacks.
The Poor people who won't see 1 penny of the money donated to Pat Robertson, but maybe he will bless them with a personal visit and maybe a prayer, because we all know how much praying for something gets it done.
Who else gets the shaft?
Every normal person who has to drive to work, drive to school, drive to pick up the kids or get groceries. Oil compagnies get an 80 billion dollar bonus to the absorbant salaries they already get.
Every concerned christian who donates to Pat's cash cow, thinking they are doing a little good. Your money just bought him a bigger house, when if you had sent it to the red cross maybe some poor person would get a house.
Who else?
Oil workers, yeah because I seriously doubt they are getting paid any sort of commision from what oil is selling for. They will get their normal salaries and get told to speed up production.
Man I hate this country some days.
This is the land of oppertunity.
We have what we need to care for all of our citizens.
It just takes the proper effort and there isn't anyone at the top making that effort.
