stupidity

i am sitting in a coffee shop in tuscaloosa, surrounded by college kids(ugh), trying not to lose my mind. i just heard on the news that we have several ships loose in the industrial canal that could damage the levees. oh my god! did we learn nothing from last time when that barge went crashing into the lower ninth ward?? i thought that after that incident they enacted legislation to clear the canals of ships. what the fuck?? it ceases to amaze me how little foresight the so called people in charge seem to be blessed with. wow, as though we don't have enough to worry about. i want the person or people responsibl hanged, drawn, and quartered. damn, just damn!! keep your fingers crossed everybody and keep praying. we are not out of the woods yet.
