Oh. I didn't read that part.

For me, I can understand the position taken by texas et al a little more if it's a single homicide, or a bad wreck...but in this case, I really think these pictures serve a purpose. If it were my family, I'd rather the images of them floating in the streets served that purpose, and in that way their deaths might gain some meaning by bringing national attention / forcing people to deal with the reality through imagery. I personally feel a lot of life was wasted in New Orleans this past week, and it sort of pisses me off...and scares me. I know New Orleans is a particular site that might be a worst-case scenario, given the rampant poverty and the dike system there...but there are a lot of poor coastal areas in the SE due to the high levels of historical generational poverty down here...if this is the best response we're going to get, it's a little scary. It sort of sucks that it would seem that New Orleans may have essentially been the functional dry run for our national response mechanisms under the new Federal reorganization, and that the performance was so incredibly piss poor.

edit : shit, i think i might go watch holy grail tonight.
