Mastication

Working Katrina - Permission Denied by FEMA - this is a crime in the making because they were denying anyone access to the airspace. Meanwhile people were dieing. We finally decided they would have to shoot us down, which we knew they would not. It was all so frustrating. We were not alone in our want to help, but we had the ability to do what needed to be done without going through their blockades. The very day this pic was taken, patients at Memorial hospital were dieing for lack of supplies or a way out. That ship is made to haul 12 troops with gear. It made over 50 trips out of New Orleans dead empty because of airspace restrictions and suppression of the dire status of so many patients. I could have just as easily flown to the hospitals as easily as I flew home feeling like I had done all I could. Little did I know that people died who could have been brought out by me. All for the lack of leaders who were afraid to tell the truth and ask the help of ordinary citizens like me. Anger eats us up inside. So as adults we learn to leverage it into motivation. I lack no motivation. But only a fool expects to change human nature. And few fools accumulate toys that burn jet fuel.
