When the Levees Break

As Led Zeppelin said, "Cryin' won't help ya, prayin' won't do you no good. When the levees break, mama you got to move."

I watched Spike Lee's When the Levees Broke, a Tragedy in Four Acts

I thought it was quite good and certainly not as bad as anything that Michael Moore has produced. Unfortunately, people are quite stupid and idiotic. Put them in a position of stress and survival, and their eyes roll into the back of their heads and their brains (what little they have and use) shut down. I have some serious issues with the documentary:

1. If you did not leave New Orleans before Katrina hit, then I have no shred of sympathy for your plight
2. The levees were not bombed, you dumb fucking idiots
3. There are a lot of stupid, dumb, idiot politicians and bureaucrats who deserve a lashing. Nagin, Blanco, Brown, Chertoff, Bushes, and on and on. But if you live in Lousiana, you should be used to it. Louisiana politics are not just merely crooked or shadowy, they're downright corrupt. It's the political equivalent of Nigeria. If you don't like it, move or vote.
4. "I grew up here and my mommy grew up here and her grandmother grew up here..." As the New Orleans natives found out, everything is impermanent. Your life is transient, your house is not permanent -- as evidenced, the whole city of New Orleans was impermanent. It is better to remove attachments to things that are illusions (like cities, houses, family, people) and end your suffering. If you like suffering and attachment, then please, by all means, go ahead and suffer. It made some interesting TV at least.
