A pediatrician gives up on the Gulf...

Here it is, almost two years after Katrina, and what has the Bush administration done to fulfill its promise that things will be fixed, the area's infrastructure revitalized? Pretty much nothin'.

One doctor who stayed and tried hard to make a difference finally realized that help wasn't coming, and he had a wife and three small children to offer a real future. He had a place he could go, and he left. His house in his former city was the only one to sell in the past six months.

It is a sadder man who will continue to blog, but from Florida, where there isn't constant tearing up of the streets, the foundation slabs, the very toxic dirt on the ground -- where he can try to find a fragment of normality.

Bush hasn't even done the little that was done for 9/11 or Andrew to lift some of the rebuilding off the coast. Be warned. He won't be there for you, either.

Pretty depressing.... The government is willing to spend Billions a day on a war that is not giving us much. Could you tell us if it is beneficial. I am not totally anti-war, but I am anti-wasting-money. What could we have done with the 600B or 1T on the war?

-20-30% of the power of the US could be wind.
-Protected all the unprotected old-growth in the US.
-Get more people medically insured.
-Rebuild NO.
-Improve education.
-Improve infrastructure

It is sad to see it wasted. What has it given us? Is it worth the price that we have paid. It has been expensive.... *Sigh*

It has given us grounds to impeach a Vice-President, just for starters. Then we go after the President.

Such a tragic waste of lives and money.

Both Katrina and the war...
