Never Forget

Michael Appleton/New York Daily News

I post this photograph to remind us all why we can never forget what happened in New Orleans. Take a good look. This is not a war photograph. This is an American city in the aftermath of a natuaral disaster.

Our government failed the people of New Orleans with their incompetence and malicious disregard.

Our government is failing them still.
