How do you respond to this? I'm not entirely sure anymore.
It seems that a lot is happenning, and the many different reports and views try to tear your heart in one direction or another. I just know that I've been trying as hard as I can to get as much info as I can. Why? I dunno. Perhaps it's that human desire to understand things, since if you understand something it doesn't seem so scary.
But I think that everything that can be said about New Orleans has been said. I hope that the loss of life is as small as it can be, and that more people don't needlessly die. I hope that the heroes outweigh the villains, and I hope that in a years time we'll watch all the anniversary specials and we'll be able to find some good out of this.
To all those out there, listening or not, I hope you're OK, and I hope your families are too.
