This started as my status on my personal facebook page but then it got too long and it is true that most of my facebook friends can't really handle me. If I say too much I get defriended and blocked. For the most part in real life world I only surround myself with the strong honest awake types, so there are no limits or boxes put on what can or can not be said. Facebook world is much different for me. Most of my strong honest awake type friends want nothing to do with facebook so I only have about 7 of the same people who like or comment on my status updates. While someone can say something like they are going to take a nap and they get 24 likes and 16 comments. I can almost feel some people shaking their heads and making faces of how dare she, when I do a new status update. I just can't help that in the face of bullshit I must speak up. I know, I know, silence is golden, so instead I decided to share this here with you all genius, beautiful, open minded, honestly opinionated, conscious, strong beings.
So anyway...
I find it ironic to read on yahoo about "helicopters racing to Vermont to get food and water to the people in cut off towns" and to read this at exactly the 6 year anniversary of Katina. I mean for real, was it not yesterday 6 years ago that the levees broke and flooded the city? Where was the aid to the people of New Orleans? How many days went by before anyone showed up to help them? How many people died from Katrina? Like over 1800? Oh but race that aid to people who have had a week plus to plan and prepare and I mean for Gods sake they shut down New York City over the warnings of this massive storm coming through! No way I would just go on with life like normal and not have totally stocked up on like weeks of stuff if I lived in the area. But the next day and they are racing aid to these people and it just kind of pisses me off. Is it because of their majority RACE that they are racing? Because what is the difference here? This is Vermont and that was New Orleans. Right? Right? Bullshit. Isn't it only fair that these people of Vermont should have to do as they did in New Orleans like the ones stuck at the stadium that reeked of urine and feces from no place to let it go and going nuts day after day in the sweltering heat with no water and no aid and no food and wondering what the fuck was going on with no help coming to take care of them...day after day after day?
Okay thank you for listening to me vent. I made my point and don't need to go on. Which makes me think I should probably add a blog page called the Vent Page. It can be a place where you can go to feel at home to really say it as it is.
