Happy Anniversary

Few things make me really angry. Sure, small things get me steamed at times, but it passes quick. This, however, is pitiful. It makes me angry, sad, frustrated, confused.

How could we let this happen?

There are so many questions. How could we let this happen in the first place? OK, fine -- it happened. How can we let this situation continue to stifle, simmer, remain painfully unchanged? An ENTIRE CITY has been leveled. Hundreds of thousands of people have lost all they have. And what have we done for them? Not a fucking thing. We gave them two grand and a shitty trailer. Yet the city lays in ruins -- wrecked houses, smashed cars, dead bodies, toxic sludge...the list goes sadly on.

OK, fine -- it happened. What are we going to do now?

I can't wait for a year from now when I look back at this post and try to assess how much has happened since then. Anyone want to make a bet that we'll be at about the same place?
