How can be have the hubris to think that we know what's best for other countries when it's been almost a week since Katrina and we still have people starving to

I'm just so furious about the whole thing. I want to take most of the elected officials in the federal government and a lot of the appointed ones too and just chuck them out the door. The federal government hasn't done shit. I forget where I read about it, but some newscaster made the comment that the difference between the US and a Third World Country in this situation is that a foreign dictator would have gotten better aid there quicker.

I think the BBC article really captures the sentiment of it: I'm ashamed that my country has fucked this up so badly. How can be pretend to be a leader in the world if we can't even save our own people from starving after a major city is flooded? I'm just shocked and appaulled.

Transfer to UMass, Amherst, or Hampshire and you can take classes here.

This isn't really something I want to joke about.
