"The Mississippi River will always have its own way; no engineering skill can persuade it to do otherwise..." Mark Twain

i believe that Twain's quote makes a great, insightful comment on the raw power of nature.

well, i am back again writing this morning because i probably have been harming my blood pressure. there is an editorial in today's New York Times that isn't surprising saying that "Bush gave one the worst speeches of his life yesterday" and his demeanor seemed "casual to the point of carelessness." this of course enraged me and so i started reading what other readers had to say about the whole ordeal, while looking for a way to post my comments. it is amazing to me those who are immediatly blaming Bush saying that it is his fault, that he should have evacuated New Orleans sooner.
