Thank you for taking the time to post this. It’s truly hard to imagine the magnitude of this disaster. My prayers for all the people hit so hard by this...
It’s unacceptable that this hasn’t been better managed, IMHO. They had the plans in place, allowances from the EPA and such for burning, but the gov’t sat on its hands for too long. It didn’t have to be this way - and that is what is so sad. The people affected haven’t done anything to deserve the hard times they are facing. We all heard the stories after Katrina - but the effects of this disaster are going to be felt through the ENTIRE Gulf Coast! Just devastating...
Prayers again for all the folks down there dealing with this. May God help them find hope, and a way to carry on.
“The people affected haven’t done anything to deserve the hard times they are facing...”
Um, THIS should make it rather clear WHY the response was delayed and coastal residents are being punished. They won’t see ONE DIME of money either if Obama gets his way and has a BP escrow account.
