I suggest (and ask you all) that we fly, wear, or sticker our American flag UPSIDE DOWN. We are in distress, we are sinking. We here on the Gulf Coast, while resolute, have moments when we know we are tired, we are weary, we are worn. I know this is true nationwide.
Note also that there is a move afoot for Wednesday, September 7, a nationwide initiative, to protest and demand that Bush resign. Here's the link.

As a well-educated, well-spoken, white Southerner, I feel that I now have a mission for the rest of my life here on the Gulf Coast-- to speak with, and for, those who should be heard. For the multi-cultural gumbo of New Orleans to be salvaged, the bayous must not be "reclaimed" with upscale condominiums overlooking the federally-funded and politically correctly restored wetlands, so long lamented in these parts. I want to make sure that my fellow Southerners have not perished in vain, especially those who perished, in their homes or in the streets, in the secondary man-made disaster of non-response.
