Louisiana pt.2

 Louisiana has been taking the brunt of catastrophic events with little aid from the government or others.  With media attention only capturing the events and staying with them for a few weeks the idea passes through our minds quickly and without any sense of the amount of damage that has or is to be done.  People in the area and radicals are going to congress and BP's headquarters to protest, telling them that BP should be responsible for the actions that they did, whether it had been not securing the lines, or not being able to control them, or for offshore drilling in the first place when they knew the possibility of catastrophic events such as the one they find themselves in now.  It reminds me of the nuclear explosion in Chernobyl, when in heavy debate and possibility of building more plants the event may be talked about, but generally nuclear power is still looked upon as a good option.  Similar to clean coal, they just find a desert to dump it in, nuclear materials that have the potential of many deaths.  Now people still refer to nuclear power as a great option for energy,  will it take something like an oil spill (nuclear meltdown) to get people's attention that it is a bad idea?  When I was in Louisiana a few weeks ago my friends were showing me a field scattered with brand new trailers, no upkeep, no one living in them, just lines and lines of trailers placed strategically behind trees so if you were not looking for them you wouldn't see them.  However, what I saw was trailers lined for I would say at least a half mile, looking like they went pretty far back as well.  These trailers were sent to people whose homes were destroyed by Katrina, they were giving to the people when the media and the American people had felt the urge to donate enough to give these people temporary homes until they could get back on their feet.  After so much time they took away all the trailers that they had given them and put them in the field, to be put to no use, sitting out there in a field while the families still have no homes or much shelter.  Hurray for bureaucracy.
