"Men give me some credit for genius. All the genius I have lies in this: When I have a subject in hand, I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. I explore it in all its bearings. My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effort which I make, the people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought." - Alexander Hamilton

City of New Orleans and Katrina

It has been 8 months since Katrina.

I have returned from the city. What devastation there is in the city.

We spent a week there with 50 people doing work for a week and it seems like a bucket of water in the ocean.

I am still of the opinion of just trash the whole city in a giant fire.

After a week of Katrina help, I think it would be easier to lose everything in a fire rather then a flood.

One odd comment that happened several times from differing people in differing situations:
The government was useless. If it were not for the churches New Orleans would be off the map.


Oh yeah many kudos to wally world. Wal-Mart opened the parking lots to relief work and have not reopened.
