With the rains of Hurricane Katrina, there comes a metaphysical rain that washes away debris and trash. These Katrina threads demonstrate it.
There is a saying that a cynic knows the price of everything, but the value of nothing. How can one reduce saving someone's life to tax expenditures is haunting. Tying up the real help needed in a time of real crisis to the letter of the Constitution violates its spirit.
The metaphysical rains of Katrina have now washed away all falsehood and all pretense. People's hearts are now laid bare. Let us all appreciate that for it is valuable, even if we don't like what we see.
To those who didder around on the subject of life, may God replace your hearts of stone with hearts of flesh.
To those who want the people, fellow citizens of our great nation, to live and receive much needed help at this point where it is needed most, may that which you give return to you pressed down, shaken together, and running over (Luke 6:38). You make me proud to be an American.
