You may have already seen it. The part where this particular picture came from got to me especially, probably because of Jamie...

( I'll put the picture and the link under a cut, because this is a pretty tender time of year anyway... )

We will PICK ourselves back up... and become BETTER people.
I sure hope so. Unfortunately from what we've seen so far, it doesn't look too promisinging

I know what you mean. Things haven't looked too good so far has it? I was watching a special on one of the prime time networks last night. They had commissions someone to write up what would happen in the event of a situation exactly like this one. It gave recommendations, etc. The report went largely ignored, even though it was accurate to tee.

We were very unprepared for this. And considering the 'powers that be' knew that this was a possibility, that is very very sad.

I think it's going to take many years for them to get back on their feet. This will, no doubt, be a very tough lesson learned for everyone.
