Today is the one year anniversary of the disasterous Hurricane Katrina’s devastation to the gulf coast region of the U.S.
One year later, while the U.S. continues to spend money towards “defense” projects that result in more killing, war and destruction, U.S. citizens are still suffering as a result of the hurricane’s effects from summer 2005. People are still homeless and haven’t received their insurance claims for their destroyed homes while officials in New Orleans, for example, have wiped out homes without homeowners’ permission and have replaced the homes with retail establishments such as WalMart.
We are failing as a country to rebuild communities that need us the most.
