I worked for two months as a Crisis Corps/Peace Corps volunteer in NOLA Oct-Dec 2005. Where is the accountability? Where are the people who have made their life's mission exploiting the injustices of our country? What happened to Michael Moore, Spike Lee, The Reverend Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpin have all of the voices been quelled by the powers at be? I am embarrassed as an American at the atrocities of the disaster and the lack of any accountability for the promises made to the victims of this disaster. I am also embarrassed by the lack of concern for the harsh realities of the present day realities of the victims. I worked at the HQ of the Salvation Army and my unanswered question was what happened to all of the stuff that everyone in America took to their local Salvation Army centers, it never got to the people of New Orleans and nobody seems to care? Well I care, send this to Our President and ask what he thinks???? Unbelievable?, I’m afraid not! I worked for two months as a Crisis Corps/Peace Corps volunteer in NOLA Oct-Dec 2005.

Instead I ask that you go read Tim’s blog. Tim is a 44 year old civil engineer from New Orleans. I have read his blog for awhile now. Yesterday his post was very simple - yet right to the point. He put up the links to b.rox a site that has used video to document the reality of New Orleans.

Down the street on the Lake side there's an Italian Pie that's open. I'm probably still digesting the delicious Mediterranean pizza we had last night... Then headed the opposite direction just a couple blocks, is the grocery with a walk-in beer fridge. So if I may be dilusional for a moment, I see the repair and reoccupation of this little strip mall as just another one of the thousands of gaps that need to be filled. Heck, maybe the parking lot would be a great place for a Farmers Market or the like. Nice snapshot B. Down the street on the Lake side there’s an Italian Pie that’s open.
