How can this be?

Hurricane Katrina is going to bring a massive amount of introspective. Just what type of society do we live in? Have we bought so far into the power of individuals that we have forgotten about our neighbours and the people we live with? Some of the news clippings on TV just devastate the soul. And what is the prime topic for discussion -- the increase in gasoline prices! Yes, this is the "me" society. We are all vicitims of ourselves.
