All men are not created equal..

My heart and prayers continue to go out to the victims of Katrina. Were you one of those folks completely sucked into all the media - glued to the images of distaster and mayhem? I'm still having trouble separating my emotions from everyone's lost.
But it can be interesting how you can view tradegy or what's tragic. Sometimes I think about all the a pain all the displaced victims go through - I consider them when i flush my toilet and when the faucet in my kitchen sink spills out clear - odor free water. At lunchtime, when I'm considering what I should have (there are so many choices), I think about the rations that are being handed out in the Astrodome and the shelters.
There is a girl in my class, a self-proclaimed actress, (desperate for attention) - I watch her - her $150 sneakers, her $400 bedazzled T-Mobile gadget, and her apple laptop - Telling anyone who would listen about the 'tragedy' she's been through as she left New Orleans. She talks about how devasting things have been since Katrina. How hard could it be? She is enjoying the opporunity to take advantage of the Ivy walls - Most schools in the area have allowed displaced students to take classes so that their schooling is uninterupted. Here tradgey looks nothing like what I've seen on TV. As I flush my toilet, and turn on my faucet, she like me is a lier and a hypercrite - we DON'T KNOW TRAGEDY.
