Only if

In the world of political decision making, the mundane oftens becomes the ridiculous. Almost two years have evaporated since mother nature devastated the city of New Orleans and the adjacent areas with the use of a Storn named Katrina.

Since the period of the initial slow response and the displacement of tens of thousands of people, the government has finaly agreed to allocate 14.4 billion dollars to rebuild the city of New Orleans alone. Although a significant proportion of the city’s population has yet to return and that a major part of the city remains in ruined and dilipated conditions, it has been proposed that 3.5 million of the reconstruction or relief or whaever it is called aid, should go to the building of a Katrina memorial.

Now forgive me if I am wrong, but I don’t think Katrina will ever be forgotten in that area. Add to that thet I figure almost 4 million dollars can go to builind a lot of homes and providing needed basic service. But then again am not a politician.

But if I were, I would not state my career on using money unnecessarily when there are so many people in need. I just wish that some folks like me would get the nerve, with all of their sins and iniquieties, maybe believe enough in this republic and the correlated political machine to run for office one day and do what needs to be done. But that won’t happen, I would have prefffered to fight Sadaam in a boxing match as opposed to put other folks life at risk. But that just this main here folk.
