for those of you who think we're ok now....

i just wanted to post a few recent pictures of that area that brad pitt toured the other day. the one that's 'doing so well'. just so that you know the reality of the situation...

total destruction

this house will never stand again

all that's left is the roof

when houses collide

cars stacked from the 20 feet of water that pushed them on top of one another

i commend the work the brad pitt is doing in the ninth ward. i think it's wonderful. i applaud all of the charitable orgs that are trying to help... but why does this neighborhood still look like this (with no power or water) 2 YEARS after katrina? we need to take action. not just brad pitt, not just orgs, but ALL OF US. it is up to us to save this city, and whether you like it or not, the ninth ward is a part of new orleans. it is a part of us all!!

Wow, seeing how so much of the city is still a dead zone really makes Brad Pitt's [little] green houses for the ninth ward with energy saving roofs [rooves?] and all that seem surreal. What kind of dream world are these people living in?
