I have always been the one with the baton leading "The Stars and Stripes Forever" and with my hand on my heart as the colors of the United States were presented. But, I am damn mad at the people who are "not" leading my country at the moment.
Workers have come from all over the United States to help clean up the devastation and trash left by Hurricane Katrina and the flood waters. This is a campground in City Park where so many of the workers live. The conditions are not the most sanitary and the sleeping conditions must surely be cold at night. While our governmentFEMA-is paying for thousands of lazy New Orleans citizens to live in luxury hotels and not work, these people who work 12 hard hours a day are living like this. And, bless their hearts, someone hoisted an American flag on a broken tree branch.
Many of the people in this location are American Indians from the western part of the United States. Oh, I forgot to mention, the workers are paying rent to live like this.
Our enemies in Iraq where we spend billions of dollars every week are living better than this. Shame, shame, shame on our government.
