Make Levees, Not War
A friend whose husband is working in New Orleans brought me a t-shirt back from New Orleans. It says "Make Levees, Not War." I'm wearing it to Tarrant County's Democratic Convention Saturday. The Lawyer is looking forward to blogging about the disorganization that plagues the TCDP.
New Orleans saddens me. We have left the entire Gulf Coast behind. We are not demanding action. We spend $200 million a day in Iraq, and do drop-in-the-bucket rebuilding in Louisiana and Missippi. It's like trying to use toothpicks to frame a house.
What will history say of us? I think we are the Marie Antoinette's of our time- complacent and out of touch with everything important.
