The (s)Wheat Spot!

N.O.

With respect to all that has happened in the last week because of the hurricane, I just want to say that I'm praying for the people of New Orleans, and for all of the people I know in the affected areas.

This whole thing seems to be bringing the worst out of America in the same way that 9/11 brought the best out of us.

All answers to the questions we ask about tragedies of this magnitude fall so short. The blame shifting, the anger, and certainly the violence simply heap further sorrow onto this already sorrowful time.

Last night, at a party, my friend Chris came up with the idea that Juvenile and some of the other N.O. music personalities should go around to the areas being affected by street violence the most and tell eveyone to cool off. Maybe then everyone would listen...
