It's time for people to just shut their mouths and stop the blame game. No one could have imagined the magnitude of this storm.

Well, actually, that's not true because people DID perceive and predict the potential for damage by this storm and the vulnerabilities of New Orleans, especially.

It's really a case of people not acting upon the truth.

Our society has an obligation to now help the struggling and suffering and hardly anyone would argue with the huge scope of existing need, or in trying to provide for it, but the issue as to awareness of the potential for this problem, it's been being said was liklely to happen for a long time.

And, there were warnings days ahead of impact that this particular storm was Category 5 and because of that, posed doom to the coastal areas.
