New Orleans
On Saturday we drove over to New Orleans from Houston. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
corivax and I did the same thing 3 years ago, but things have changed.
( One year after Katrina )
On the way back to downtown we were passed by a National Guard humvee carrying armed soldiers. And then it was back to downtown, just 2 miles away, with the casinos and flashing neon and the desperate, non-stop party of Bourbon Street.
Our response to Katrina was an obscenity at the time, and it is an obscenity that so little has been done a year later. This isn't part of America, it's part of the third world. Where is its Marshall Plan?
