I'm pretty much the same way about trying to leave something more weighty, but it's nice to know people appreciate what your wrote as well.<BR/><BR/>@kelly I'm seriously considering moving the poetry/art/creative writing to a separate site with my own domain (still noodling what to call it) and then returning this site to an actual blog like it used to be. I get the sense the blog format really isn't suited for what I'm doing here. Spike Lee's movie is pretty infuriating, even though I know most of the general info about what happened. Seeing these people recount their personal experiences is very disturbing. Like you said, everyone seems to have moved on as if nothing happened. In sharp contrast to 9/11, this tragedy provoked no real changes in the way we conduct our lives.Francis Scudellarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01008685302028451297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31030337.post-21073882445757707002008-05-17T11:10:00.000-04:002008-05-17T11:10:00.000-04:00Francis, I more than remember your prosaic posts a...Francis, I more than remember your prosaic posts and enjoyed this quite a bit. I, too, often think about the lasting effects of Katrina and absolutely know that it has been conveniently swept under the rug for those who know society will move along with their own lives. I can remember watching the earlier videos of the disaster unfolding and thinking it would be very, very bad.kellypeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13266678780105919817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31030337.post-30734396655909473722008-05-17T07:06:00.000-04:002008-05-17T07:06:00.000-04:00I don't normally leave comments saying 'it's a goo...I don't normally leave comments saying 'it's a good post' - it's a bit 'Spammy', I guess.<BR/><BR/>But it's a good post and I thought I should say so.Ken Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07775956557261111127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31030337.post-28609469109350255872008-05-17T01:19:00.000-04:002008-05-17T01:19:00.000-04:00@Lisa It's actually an HBO film, and it first aire...@Lisa It's actually an HBO film, and it first aired almost 2 years ago. I got it through NetFlix. It's pretty disturbing to relive those days. It makes me wish I could have done more to help. I got to see Ziggy once a long time ago. Unfortunately I never saw Bob.<BR/><BR/>@Dale Thanks, I'm not sure it was as coherent as it should have been, but I'm glad it made some sense :).Francis Scudellarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01008685302028451297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31030337.post-58677646341574441372008-05-16T23:47:00.000-04:002008-05-16T23:47:00.000-04:00Francis, I enjoyed your article - thanks for shari...Francis, I enjoyed your article - thanks for sharing your thoughts.<BR/>cheers<BR/>daleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31030337.post-28124017351987001532008-05-16T17:00:00.000-04:002008-05-16T17:00:00.000-04:00Francis,Good post.

Also, a few years ago I saw Ziggy Marley in concert, one of Bob Marley's many children. He did the song you highlighted that night. It was incredible.<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>LisaLisa McGlaunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05586141320197189197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31030337.post-14122055547867951142008-05-16T13:44:00.000-04:002008-05-16T13:44:00.000-04:00@jena If I inspired you, then the post was a succe...@jena If I inspired you, then the post was a success :). Human rights is such a broad subject, it was a little hard for me to focus. <BR/><BR/>@mike I've always been a big Bob Marley and the Wailers fan. It's not the most subtle song or post, but sometimes the moment requires directness.<BR/><BR/>@l.s. I truly believe you're right, and I'm optimistic that the new, positive consciousness shift is spreading throughout the world.<BR/><BR/>@rachel If Bob approves, I'm in good shape :) Thanks for the comment, I really appreciate them all.Francis Scudellarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01008685302028451297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31030337.post-85335319817875611072008-05-16T12:43:00.000-04:002008-05-16T12:43:00.000-04:00Great post!
