I think our pointed restlessness (“neighborhood groups and citizen-led initiatives are intervening in places you’d normally expect to find government”) is fed by this feeling that an unparalleled opportunity for substantive change exists amidst all the garbage heaps.

The good people of New Orleans deserve to finally be served by a government–all of its tentacles, including the Army Corps–of equal merit.

It is about the 85 earthquake and the void of government.
Amoung other things.

There was a fissure here in New Orleans, and now the powers that be are trying to close it, keeping it open is even harder work than ever.

We still need vigilant citizens, as the next Hurricane Season approaches and we seem to be just as vulnerable as ever, if not more it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

I am reading Art of the Impossible. I have had this book for a few years and now am reading it at the right time. It is about the citizen leadership that rose after the fall of Communism. Havel has a wonderful perspective on morality and enormous responsibility of politicians and the reason that strong citizens became the natural leaders after the Velvet Revolution. Glad you were able to get out for a spell.
