Reply #8: Cultures have a way

[jokerman93]

Cultures have a way of adapting to epochal changes. I can't (and wouldn't want to) articulate the revulsion I feel every time I think of Katrina and the crimes that led to the NOLA diaspora. I have hope though that the various NOLA cultures will have a positive influence on all parts of the U.S. that are privileged to host them. And maybe they'll evolve too as a characteristically vital response to this tragic and egregious crime that has been committed.

There will be Blues from this, and there is no music so full of Human truth as our Delta Blues. It's the twenty-first century. We've all witnessed the worst that can happen now, and the ones who were sacrificed in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina won't be forgotten.
