The Above Linkblogs Might Contain "Borrowed" links.
Linkblogs do not substantially contribute traffic to my blog that I can discover. They all go offsite, and are often accessed from my blog. It's possible to access them from the RSS according to my settings. Still, even if I were to get ads clicking on a linkblog from the RSS won't drive more people to my blog than otherwise because they leave my resources. (Note to self, do more posts, less LBs with sources I find). I explain because I sometimes borrow links from people at Twitter, and often forget who put them up. (To fellow Twitterers: If you have a link to your blog, I will point it there, but Twitter, being impermanent, cannot hold your link for people to discover from there. I only 'borrow' them to get news out to as many people as I can who might not have seen the reports and videos found by the smart people I follow at Twitter or find in search rooms.RSS Add-Me
What is Wrong With America. We Can't Even Take Care of One Devastated City?
posted 11-09-06
We had to go invade a nation to grab its sea of oil (Please read Republican insider's Kevin Phillips' "American Theocracy" before you repeat the Republican mantra that it wasn't about oil) and now we can't help one city actually recover from a disaster.
Every time a rich person's home burns down in a wild fire, is damaged on the coast by a Nor'Easter, or a KMart is swallowed by a Mississippi river flood enough money is found to compensate them and restore their buildings.
Why can't we get the New Orleans recovery right?
It seems like the only conversations going on are how to slice and dice the New Orleans area for the benefit of fat cats and big business and how to get those po' folk into projects.
And now the people there are reaping the results of our neglect in mental crises.
Maybe the article in the Washington Post will help the nation to focus on N.O. again.
If we don't get this one right, then what happens if disaster comes to your neighborhood?
