It's been a little over 2 years since Hurricane Katrina annihilated New Orleans and a lot of the city is still uninhabitable. Disasters like this and genocide in Darfur are what we should be using our military capabilities for. Bush had diverted the funding to maintain the New Orleans levee system as well as the military assets to swiftly and effectively deal with this needless and easily preventable disaster a long time prior for the meatgrinder in Iraq. Looks a lot like war on, or at least a systemic problem of second class citizenship for people of color in this country.
I believe the way forward is to strive for a convergence of the ecological sustainability and social justice movements. Unite and get active in any way you can!!!
THIS POST IS NOT FOR KIDS!
A blog focusing on ecological sustainability, intentional community, social justice, progressive politics, voluntary simplicity, self-reliance and personal narrative. I'm green thru & thru: linking to Treehugger, Worldchanging, Massive Change, Bioneers, Mother Earth News, Rocky Mountain Institute, etc. I'll be exploring interpersonal relationships and personal development as well. "Same thing we do every night Pinky, try to (save) the world."
