In another time

Sunday, September 25, 2005

In another time; before Katrina
Rita would have been called a disaster.

A natural disaster.

But now, we are in another time.
Like after 9-11.

A new normal.

Comparisons creep in.
Rita wasn't really that bad.

It could have been worse.
Yes, it could.

But we should not accept new normals.
Do not allow comparisons.

For this was bad.
There will be worse.

Attention is being diverted.
From what really needs to be discussed.

There is climate change.
There is global warming.
There is a dysfunctional government.
There is an unjust war.
There is poverty.
There is a huge welfare class.

The United States is not the best country in the world.
In another time when Camelot ruled, perhaps yes.

But we are in another time.

    jase;
    I guess you forgot to read the part of the geography lesson explaining the expanse of the country....i can certainly recommend a few good ones, though.:^)
    Dr. Deb;
    unfortunately so, yes.
