As one whose heart will always remain in N’Awlins, all I can say is that at first I winced at what I perceived to be a light hearted take (I’ll never be ready for that) but then thought a minute later that perhaps as the world consistently presents itself, a damn good soak, scrub, rinse and cleanse may well be in order and may well be what we have coming our way.
And I say that in no way lighthearted as I consider the plight of (but one example) the people of Bangladesh, and that there are entire cultures fracturing and being spread far and wide as islands sink below water / the salt comes up and kills all their growing foods … and the people flee to the neighboring islands which are set just a bit higher & all involved seem to be working toward an integration of those who have just lost the land of their families, so many generations – and where they can go to on these neighboring islands is a difficult struggle indeed.
Katrina is a gift that keeps on giving.
