Lessons from Hurricane Katrina
What have we learned from the disaster of Hurricane Katrina? We have learned that if you are poor in America, the federal government does not care if you live or die. We have learned that despite protestations to the contrary, the federal government cannot respond quickly in a time of crisis and duress. We have learned that there is no true leadership in the federal government - it is as much a morass of functionaries as post-Katrina New Orleans is of filth and muck. We have learned that our domestic tranquility and general welfare is entrusted to these clueless functionaries.
We have learned that we are on our own. We have learned that the federal government cannot protect us and may very well not care about us. We have learned that the federal government is very good at spin. We have learned that the true heroes are we the people. We have learned that Sheppard Smith, Geraldo Rivera and Anderson Cooper are perhaps the only television reporters that have told viewers the truth in the past twenty years. We have learned that Louisiana's governor is incompetent and along with the federal government is entirely incapable of foresight and leadership.
We have learned that if we are victimized by another terrorist atrocity, especially if it is a simultaneous attack, our nation is doomed.

Thought provoking questions usually put forth a certain viewpoint, if only because they inherently challenge the accepted one. However, they don't require you to agree with that viewpoint, and a question is just a question. We'll each have different answers to the following, despite their provocative intent.
Thought Provoking Questions - Politics
1.
In the Bill Of Rights, the First Amendment to the Constitution, titled "Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression" states the following: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
We have all read about Jack Abramoff and how lobbying is done in Washington. Trips, dinners, campaign funding, and other perks paid for by lobbyists in return for favors the politicians can do for their clients.
But our Supreme Court Justices should be beyond reproach. They are not elected, but appointed. They are in that position for life or until they decide to retire.
Few books have rocked the publishing world like Rush Limbaugh's "The Way Things Ought To Be" (which he wrote by utilizing "talent on loan from God".) This book, along with author's daily radio program, literally launched a revolution - touching everything from the composition of Congress in 1994 to the resurrection of AM talk radio. Unlike his second.
On the front page of the World Nuclear Association website prominently rests a quote from what some consider the world’s leading environmentalist and among the world’s top scientists, Dr. James Lovelock: “There is no sensible alternative to nuclear power if we are to sustain civilization." - James Lovelock, preeminent world leader in the development of environmental consciousness
At age eighty-six, Dr.
Threatened once again by our governing bodies, how much more can we take. I hear we are to be penalized with higher council taxes for making our houses into a home by decorating or adding a conservatory.
People are going to be weary of putting a lick of paint on the walls. Heaven forbid what do this government want more slums, because that is exactly what is going to happen.
Almost every weekday, for the last thirty some years, I have purchased three or four newspapers and read them at lunch time. I do this in order to relax and in some cases learn something. One of the 'newspapers' I buy is the Los Angeles Times and I am going to use that 'newspaper' as my example for this article. In my opinion the Los Angeles Times has always been a somewhat liberal paper.
