The Shame! The Anger! The Disgust!

It is quite embarrassing to admit to myself that the government of The United States of America, the country that said "Give us your weak, give us your tired" is not ready or even able to take care of it's own. And in the fine leadership style that we have apparently become accustomed to, our leader, our Commander in Chief, our President... George W. Bush, responds with the swiftness of the slug that he is and immediately starts transferring accountability to others. He said he had no way of predicting a breech of the levee system in New Orleans. The news media was anticipating the possibility days before Katrina made land fall and books and articles have described it in detail.... over ten years ago.

I'm ashamed that the leadership structure of the country I've served and pledged to defend, has abandoned the poor, the weak, the needy. The people most in need have died, are dying and will continue to die, because the powerful, the wealthy, the priviledged, that Americans trust to protect them
are busy saving their own asses and making excuses for their failures and blaming everyone else for their incompetencies.

Alas, I am too angry, disgusted and ashamed to put all my vindictiveness toward the powers that be into words. But be warned. When I am again able to coherently construct my weapon of defiance by joining my words into sentences, into statements, I vow to direct all my literary energies and abilities into returning America to every single one of We the People.
