A look at the foster care system of GA from the inside, and that's right, you guessed it, I'm a little cynical

Let no one be forgotten

Thinking today about the state of things, of the world i guess. The reports from New Orleans are disturbing. Most of my news I get from NPR, they tend to be a little optimistic. There seems to have developed, at the very least in sentiment, a very strong racial devide. This adds sorrow upon sorrow. Why must we continue to see things this way? It is all a mode of control. If we can divide along racial lines then we can be controlled. By playing on fear and pain the country will submit to yet another polarization. In the government it is democrat and republican. In our culture it seems to be black and white. What about asians and eastern europeans? Where do they fall into it? My God, who is really to know that the response would have been better faster if it was postly white people waiting for help. I think it can be safely said that things would have come together faster if it were mostly rich people there. Apparantly money makes people move. Those who could afford it got out leaving those who did not want to or were not able to leave what little they had to suffer the consequences. My God help us all. I pray before the Most High that no one in that tragedy is forgotten.
