word. my perception was that they were sort of flip sides of the same coin, or bastard cousins or something. all of a sudden there's this contention, and i'm not seeing the point of departure. i think we should all be a little pissed right now (i'm a little scared. southern state, hurricane = happen), and the extent to which poverty and race are intertwined, or whether any inherent associated apathy is involved in the sluggish response, I think, are very real and important questions. I have to say, it's hard for me to imagine that if the Hamptons or Manhatten was in this kind of shit, that they'd be letting those people chill out for a week or so before they got aid to them. I realize it's not that simple, but I think it might be a real factor.
