Here We Go Again?

I know Katrina was an amazing event. But it leaves me wondering if we are now subject to a post-Katrina panic, the effects of which will be with us regardless of the magnitude of future storms from now on.

I remember Camille, and certainly Andrew. And yet I don't remember oil prices jumping after their devistation. I don't remember massive government fraud or the failure of government at various levels to mobilize and address the crisis with compitence and all due haste.

I've always held progressive points of view; but this administration makes me feel nostolgic instead of hopeful....
