Here we are, two years after Katrina and my beloved New Orleans is still a mess... I have not been there since the storm but everything I have read thus far points to the fact that the city has been pretty much thrown under the bus. No members of the government are running to the rescue, the presidential candidates are avoiding it like the plague. People love to use it as a bitching point against the current administration (myself included), but the truth is that as much as everyone bitches about it, no real progress has been made.
I get pissed every time I think about it or see pictures of what is one of the most unique and historical cities in this country just rotting away to shit.
Blame whoever you want, I think that as a whole, as a country, we just kind of super-suck.
At least gas prices are down, SUV's are more affordable, and Starbucks is doing just fine selling $5 cups of coffee.
Makes me proud...

You are the Hanged Man
Self-sacrifice, Sacrifice, Devotion, Bound.
With the Hanged man there is often a sense of fatalism, waiting for something to happen. Or a fear of loss from a situation, rather than gain.
The Hanged Man is perhaps the most fascinating card in the deck. It reflects the story of Odin who offered himself as a sacrifice in order to gain knowledge. Hanging from the world tree, wounded by a spear, given no bread or mead, he hung for nine days. On the last day, he saw on the ground runes that had fallen from the tree, understood their meaning, and, coming down, scooped them up for his own. All knowledge is to be found in these runes.
The Hanged Man, in similar fashion, is a card about suspension, not life or death. It signifies selflessness, sacrifice and prophecy. You make yourself vulnerable and in doing so, gain illumination. You see the world differently, with almost mystical insights.
