Hurricane Katrina Response Shame

I started off earlier this week thinking the U.S. will show the rest of the world what a quick and positive response to a disaster is. After hours of watching the same information I realized that people are doing nothing except using this disaster as a photo opportunity.
I think this under scores our Era unfortunately everyone projects images that mean nothing and very little gets done. Words are everything but execution and action is poor. People are rewarded not for actions or ability but because they sounded politically correct and patriotic. We elect people who make us feel good not people who get things done. This is from the local to the presidential office.
One more point I would like to make is that also to blame are past broadcasts of storms. You have preening reporters in tropical storms to different categories of hurricanes over the past few years using the same conviction, cliché’s for all level of storms. There was never any information on what the different categories mean. People just figured hey another reporter or politician is trying to make a career on this storm. That could be the reason some people never left.
