Our Faceless Protection

This relief helicopter refused to land in fear of being rushed by people that wanted to escape. So they dumped the relief.


Katrina, which could be the final undoing of New Orleans not only devastated a part of America, but also showed how prepared our federal government is for catastrophe.

The scores of untold, and inexact numbers of dead will be revealed with time. But the most significant part of the story is how the average American, will be on his or her own when it comes down to survival thereafter. The federal government has watched for days as the ignorant trapped poor has been raped, killed, and tortured by inhumane circumstances.

It is also known how Bush cut funding to build better levee systems for New Orleans, to fund military actions oversees.

This is it ladies and gentleman. A microcosm of what would occur if we were attacked by some unprecedented assault of nuclear, or chemical warfare. This wasn't just two buildings (God rest its souls, and all that perished), this was an entire city. America is just like any other place on the planet. Why? Because our government sees human life as expendable when trying to observer the extent of a localized catastrophe. God bless the country if it was devastated. It would be tooth and nail, all for one and one for all, and that my friends......is the frightening truth of it all. Hug Mom and Dad, because only the strong survive.

Truthfully. What are our biggest accomplishments as humans? The wheel, mathematics, the light bulb, some cures for age old diseases, air flight, computers, and space flight. For a civilization that considers itself so advanced, we are at the mercy of chaos as if it were the stone-age. Hell, why do thing NASA was created? So we could get off the planet when the stuff hit the fan. We are a race that is bumbling to its culmination. Much like cramming for a test, or rushing to get an elementary science project done the night before presentation. We are hoping for the best, but never really do our best, because our capabilities are limited.

I asked all the questions in the beginning. Why didn't the people leave? Why isn't New Orleans prepared for a hurricane? How has this not happened earlier? The answer. Society knew about the test, they just figured they'd cram for it when the deadline came near. The grade for New Orleans to get ready for the test is undeniable an F, and now, it may have to be rebuilt as a small monument to the dead that relied on the false pretence of safety by an America that couldn't build a correct levee system in ordinance to cost effectiveness. Does anybody smell a lawsuit? Oh yeah, we can't sue the federal government! Eyes without a face.

It's as simple as the story of Robin Hood, except Robin Hood is shooting at rescuers asking why his family isn't being saved. We give the government our money, they give a little back to keep us feeling smart. We give the government our money weekly, they give a little back yearly. On and on it goes, and we accept it in return for our freedom, and safety.

The truth: In a disaster, the elite will live. The average will die.
Should I be resentful for that? I really have no idea. For what our race is now.?

This is an oceanic oil rig that was dislodged from it's moorings by Katrina, and drifted inland. Smashing into the Cochrane Bridge in Mobile, Alabama.
Hey Boston? Does the bridge look semi-familiar?

Don't you have the feeling that we could be so much more prepared, and unified than this. Not just as a country, but as a planet. And sure, this is a once in a lifetime storm. But, that is said with the ignorance of not knowing how far away our planet is from raging against itself, and recycling for the next ice age. In case you didn't know, there will be an untold amount of new species that will rule the Earth as we do before the Sun runs it's course, and dies. Freezes, and thaws of our planet have been occurring for eons. Killing off some of the most complex of species, and creating the next. We are not the pinnacle, as much as we are a pinnacle of a single point in an unimaginable expanse of time. Eyes without a face.

The sickeningly ironic part of it all. Probability favors that we may not have enough time to get it right for our race. And our end will most assuredly be faceless. When, and if that day comes, and the reality has taken hold of the masses. If you look beside you, and see the eyes of someone who is laughing, and crying at the same time. When they reach out to hug or hurt you, that will be me. Knowing all too well that the reality that lay in their subconscious, has come to fruition.


And it's all for one, and free-for-all.
