There is a particular sadness with which we consider the offensive launched against Mississippi survivors of Hurricane Katrina on the very somber second anniversary of the awful day in which the great storm devastated our state and caused a civil engineering failure of vast and deadly proportions in Louisiana.
I am so tired of hearing in the national news and magazines about New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina HIT MISSISSIPPI. But pictures of NOTHING (because the house that used to be there is GONE), apparently don't have the same impact as pictures of flooded homes. In Mississippi there were whole neighborhoods where there was NOTHING left.
