Flood and Shock, Plague and Pestilence, Fire and War

A long title for a short thought.

The sentiment I keep seeing/hearing (in the media, reported by the media, and from people in the office and on the street) with regards to the situation in New Orleans is, "How can this be happening? This is America!"

As in, hundreds of thousands of our citizens are off "helping" people in all corners of the world, while New Orleans falls apart and we can't get help to the people who are affected. Like I said, just a thought...
