Goodbye Gulf Coast!!!

Hello Murfreesboro, Tennessee!!!

Yep, we are moving back to Tennessee next week. Hope and I are both pretty tired of living in the butt crack of America (yeah, that's worse than the armpit), so we are following the hailstorms to Tennessee. I'll admit it, I've become desensitized to the plight of the downtrodden. One word of wisdom after LIVING here for nearly 6 months... DO NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING THE MEDIA TELLS YOU ABOUT KATRINA VICTIMS!!!! Of course, as most would already know, its not a clear cut issue. The government (all levels) suck, but so do the people (all ethnic groupings). For many folk, the reason they are still living in sewage and rubble is because they simply choose to live that way. They have thousands of dollars in their bank account (or in their new Escalade), and they choose to live in a house of *expletive*. Whatever you hear on the news... don't believe it. For many, they are a primary cause of their own suffering. On the other hand, the reason many others are living in sewage and rubble is because the system that was supposed to protect them has fallen apart. No one will return their phone calls, voice mails, messages, emails, etc... They are treated like trash thrown in an ever-growing dumpster. So... like I said before, its not a clear issue. Everyone is crooked. Everyone is out for number 1... even me, thats why I'm getting outta here.
