The impact of Katrina
|
Posted By: Fred Johnson on September 01, 2005 Hurricane Katrina is going to have a big impact on the psyche of this country for years to come, possibly even moreso than 9/11. With 9/11, there was a common enemy to rally against, which always brings people together. With Katrina, it is difficult for people to direct their anger and frustration against God or nature (although some will anyway)... What is more likely to happen, is that people direct their attention to the seemingly slow response of the local and federal governments, and this will become a big political hot button for every politician between now and 2008.
