coming out of my 1st trimester hellhole :)
although i agree with a person's right to free speech, i don't feel that it was necessary for kanye to state the obvious. anybody with a brain can look at our history and see how much this country 'loves'.....slavery, lynching, institutionalized racism are the few ways that this country has 'loved' us.
9-11 has been an example to us that much this country and its citizens are expendable to the government and their personal interests.
after day 2, food, water and additional supplies should have been there. we can be in iraq in a heartbeat to 'free' them, feed their children and comfort them but it took 5 days for anyone to bring a box of anything.
like 9-11 eventually all of the anger and frustration of this will probably die down to a complacency that is like a favorite blanket to us.
it breaks my heart watching all of this hurt, pain, death. what hurts more is that it is a possibility that nothing will really ever change and that our government will never be held accountable for this travesty.
