Perspective

I haven't seen anyone quoting this in the blogosphere, so I thought I'd pass it on. While New Orleans is certainly "Ground Zero" in the post-Katrina tragedy, we shouldn't forget that the actual disaster has affected around 90,000 square miles, "nearly as large in area as Great Britain." As in, the entirety of GB, not just England or Wales. I'm sorry to see people starting to burn out on this tragedy (understandably or no), there's still a ton of work that needs to be done.
