Where Have All the Heroes Gone?

I know. People are still dying in the streets. Famine is tracing its muddy fingers all over New Orleans, followed by Pestilence, War, and at last, Death. It's too damn early to be pointing fingers at people.

But I can. And will. I've been stuck at work all day, constantly reading the news updates and getting increasingly disgusted with the way this whole affair has been handled, on all sides. The comparison to 9/11 is imminent, but you'll notice how, where 9/11 had heroes all over the place, from police and firemen, to the citizens of New York, the military, and Giuliani, the media hasn't created many heroes in this fiasco. And although there are a lot of people who deserve the title, they're being overshadowed by all the blame that's going around.

So, because I'm a lazy American bastard, I thought I might as well offend half of the US, and exercise my right to free speech and rant about it. And I'm feeling bitter and ranty. You'll have to live with it.

Whew. I'm sorry. I had to get that out of my system.
