New Orleans

I keep having this feeling that few people are even paying attention to what’s going on in New Orleans. A city the size of Austin is completely devastated, but daily life is going on pretty much as usual everywhere else. Yesterday, I kept trying to find news about it on broadcast television, but it was all just the usual programming. The same thing continued throughout the day. There was nothing on about it until the evening news. It seems like people don’t want to or don’t know how to think about it or acknowledge it. Have we become that isolated from one another? Why are we not mobilized into crisis mode? It keeps sounding like no one had a plan for what to do if this happened. From the governor of Louisiana to the mayor of New Orleans to the President of the United States there is a complete absence of leadership.
