I am.
Because with each incident, be it a lying ommission-commission report, an attack on our country, now a huge natural disaster, each and every time a few thousand, a few hundred thousand, somewhere, get a new mindset.
It doesn't happen across the fruited plains that 285 million people suddenly "get it".
This hurricane is so very, very different.
Quite a few people in this country live near an area affected by such natural disasters. THIS is something that affects us average guys, whether it be a horrific tornado, a devistating earthquake or hurricanes from hell that have affected so many Americans through the years.
So many of us could be affected by such a thing and THIS factoid makes people pay attentions. Mothers across the land see the flood, the wrecked homes, the devistated lives. They worry about their children and the procedures to protect them in such a diaster.
Americans will be paying attention is what I'm saying here. Punctuated by the endless visuals and the stories to come about the days after the disaster. WE all understand the devistation of a life where EVERYTHING is lost.
We also all understand, just with a moment of thought, just where or who would WE look to for help during such an emergency? It's a LOCAL thing you understand.
We see the visuals of the army coming in, we see the helicoptors rescuing victims from roofs, no mind their color.
They can SAY what they want. We KNOW what we see.
"Going to take a nagin."
When I come back, I'm going to suggest that the Superdome be renamed the Naginbowl.
