Tonight I happened to hear Louis Armstrong's "It's Christmas
Edited on Fri Dec-09-05 02:15 AM by texpatriot2004
time in New Orleans" it made me very, very sad. It's Christmas. It sucks this year just like it did last year for us. I don't feel Christmas at all. How can you when there's so little good will toward men now. The current environment is too somber to celebrate. Then, as I am thinking about all my own problems and the problems of the world, I hear that song (which I love BTW) and I think of my fellow Americans who were hit by Katrina and Rita, some who are still living in tents...many who lost everything they own, others who are trying to pick up the pieces of what they own some how.

Oh it's so pathetic. What the hell happened to America? How did this world get so supremely f-ed up?

And New Orleans...God Bless New Orleans.
