There is one way I see some of that happening that may be one of the positive things to come out of the Katrina disaster .I'm hoping that when people saw the grinding poverty and desperation there in New Orleans that they may come to an understanding of the growing inequity between the haves and have nots in this country.The disparity between the rich and poor in this nation is becoming greater than it has been in decades and the middle class is shrinking .If people wake up to what the neo-cons and their ilk are doing to our country ,I desperately hope there will be a populist revolution of some kind.I understand that socialist tenets are a hard sell in a large heterogenous country.Perhaps I am dreaming expecting people to do the right thing here ,but I don't want to completely give in to cynicism .
