*Before I present the following, I need to preface it. This thinkpost was originally written for My Tumblr Account which was posted on February 8, 2016 and that post can be seen HERE. (That version of the essay includes bold type for the "TL;DR" crowd and several links to articles which were not transferred to this version.)

It's rare that I transfer post anything between my Tumblr and LiveJournal accounts, but I have chosen to repost this essay here specifically because of a piece that [livejournal.com profile] mamas_minion created in the [livejournal.com profile] misfitmanor journal for [livejournal.com profile] therealljidol competition. Titled Where Are We Going and Why Are We In This Handbasket," and written to the prompt "White Out," It's a powerful, worthwhile and important piece that should be read by everyone.

I was compelled to share this essay here, after reading that piece there, and I hope, when you have a bit of free time, you'll read both of these essays and share your thoughts and reflections about them on those pages, and because I think they dovetail pretty nicely. In fact, I'd suggest you read that essay first and then come back here to look at this one. Please do.

To understand what's happening in New Orleans, you need to see the town before Katrina arrived.

New Orleans is, like so many United States cities... )
