I hope it is actually okay if I post on this. I personally would like to end the 'do not post to me' that is between myself and the poster. I don't, and honestly, never meant any harm. I hate having bad feelings between people, especially people who just maybe..I don't know, have gotten misunderstood. It's completely up to them. I will respect their decision.
But about Katrina and the movie 'Trouble the Water', I originally thought the movie was going to be a big ex-posse about how all levels of government f***ed up and left all of those poor people in Louisiana (mostly black, and poor...If this had happened in Kennebunkport, the place would have been rebuilt in a week) behind, basically leaving them to rot away. So, so, so sad....and they need an angry movie...a very, very, VERY angry movie to cut down all of the politicians and bureaucrats who are responsible for letting these poor people wither and rot away.
We don't need some movie about some woman who makes a rap music song about it all and survives, and that is her BIG experience! Uggghhh...Jay :-/

>Just generally speaking gg. I know, everybody has a right to do/say whatever they want, and that is great if somebody wants to write a song about their experience. I just see it as, there where so many thousands of crushing, life taking issues that could (should?) have been put into a film about Katrina, it seems odd just to focus on two people who write a song about it. I also say this, because the directors and producers of this movie where all schooled by Michael Moore, and I just expected something deep, critical, jarring and dramatic.
