Dogs left behind in New Orleans

[waipili]

I have no problems with yelling, "This could have been avoided". In our case, the Federal, State, & County played dodge responsiblity to cleaning the Kailua,Oahu swamp. Meanwhile the Corp of Engineers kept giving out paper warnings, that the swamp needed to be cleaned or it would flood us out. These governments played with our lives, and nothing was done. We lost almost everything, the water was so filty (those days sewer discharge was being done into the swamp)that even the electric outlets had to be cleaned. We carried excellent flood insurance(s), and boy did they pinch every penny. Denied us most everything. Only the car insurance gave us no hassle(Allstate). The water was aboug 4 feet in the patio, and I swam to retrieve what I could. The RedCross gave us brand new mattresses to sleep on, since we had nothing. The governments did nothing to help us!!! Whatever monies you have, goes fast. Like food, etc. Months after, I still would wake up when it rained, and go out side and watch, and watch for flooding. Thats how it screws with your head. We were lucky because we were able to save ourselves and animals. Plus we had jobs to go to. These poor people because of Katrina have nothing-nothing!!! Plus the life time nightmares of what they personally experienced. Why? Because the governments there turned the other way, when they knew the Levy's needed to be rebuilt to PROVENT what did happen. So if you can help these people via the RedCross, Salvation Army, animal rescue groups like Alley Cat, or HSUS. Please do. Because these are the agencies that make all the difference in the world in recovering their life back. Not the government! Boy am I upset. If the Bible was still being written, this storm would be written in.
