This hurricane shit is completley ridiculous. Unimaginable amounts of pain, human suffering and loss. I want to focus on what I can do, and empathize with the victims, but instead, I'm just mad.

Can you believe the apathy of the local and federal government? Where are the people we put in charge? Air Force cadets playing basketball a block away from an underwater middle school? Condi Rice shopping for high heels and catching Spamalot on Broadway? Anarchy in the streets while the New Orleans police barricade themseleves in at the station house? FEMA, where the hell you at? Where's the National Guard? Wait, why are all the troops and resources in Iraq again? Who's the president? What was the ruling in Bush v. Gore? What the fuck?

The worst part is that this disaster is undermining a lot of my faith in our society. Are we really this racist? Did we really leave all these people behind? In terms of lives lost and property damaged, this disaster will rival September 11th. That day four years ago launched a War on Terror that cost us trillions, but I can't imagine Katrina starting a new War on Poverty or a War on Racism. I'm definetly upset, and I hope the days to come and the response to this tragedy reafirm my faith.

I've been wrong before. Young Jeezy is growing on me. Plenty of dudes are talking tons of shit about Chameonaire, but I just don't know yet.
