Each day it seems, I grow more weary. Maybe it's because I give much of my attention to what is going on in our storm riddled area and see the underlying outcome of what is transpiring. Governor Barbour said in an article that living cheap on the Coast is gone. People of modest income can no longer live close to the water in their "little" houses but people who can afford to build to code (the wealthy) can. To me, it makes no sense as the modest income people ("worker bees") play a big part in keeping the "wealthy" on the beaches. Renters occupy the majority of the FEMA trailers as they wait for rental properties to become available to them. It will soon be 2 yrs. and that hasn't happened. Also building to code is nonsense ... there wasn't anything that could stand against Katrina. Somewhere in one of my many posts, I talked about the hotel in Gulfport that was part of the Grand Casino. I mentioned to many people over the years that it was leaning to the right. After Katrina made landfall, the lean to the right was very pronounced.... it was taken down. Homes that had structures of steel were destroyed. The steel remaining was twisted and worthless.

The most disheartening thing that is happening here is that we, the people, aren't fighting for our rights, we are just laying down for the count. One, two, three. You're OUT!
