ONE YEAR AGO TODAY...

Please take this in the spirit in which it is intended...

If you read back in my archives you will note that I was initially devistated by the aftermath of Katrina. But after watching the reactions of the professional victims of the area, my devistation rapidly turned to disgust.

Now, after a year of listening to the whining, the finger pointing and the blaming I am sick and tired of hearing the words, "New Orleans". Note that this is NOT "Katrina-fatigue" as is diagnosed by the media. Rather, it is my fatigue--nay, utter revulsion--at the Celebration of the Profession of Victimhood that has become the hallmark of this, and many other "tragedies".

The true tragedy is the "reality T.V." mentality that makes otherwise meaninless and pathetic individuals media "stars" for a civilization that has lost all underastanding of the words, "hero", "sacrifice", and "courage".
