Where is Justice?

Is this possible? Can this be true? Have we gone completely mad? Does it seem sometimes that we can not do what's right no matter how hard we try?

Are we so lacking in moral character that we will allow this kind of thing to rule our sense of right and wrong?

I know these questions plague most of us every day and I, for one, know what should be done, but have the over whelming feeling of powerlessness that grids in my stomach leaving we tired and irritable by night fall. It seems that every day brings new nonsense stories that only make my sense of frustration worse.

Where will all end up is anyone's guess -

( the following little story comes from an e-mail )

This past weekend FEMA and the City of Austin , along with the Texas Workforce Commission setup a job
training/hiring/interview/job fair forall the Katrina FEMA evacuees in the Austin area tobe held at the ACC campus on Webberville Road in East Austin . Several of the evacuees said they had no transportation to get from the apartmentcomplexes. So the city of Austin/FEMA/TWC set up transportation for each of them to ensure they would be able to partake of the benefitof job searching. The transportation consisted of nine buses and vans, to
run from four locations in Round Rock, and five locations in

Austin, in continuing shuttles back and forth to the campus to ensure thatthe hundreds of people looking for jobs would be transported incomfort. The vehicles were brought to their residences; drivers knockedon thedoors; and every effort was made.At the end of the day, the nine vans and busestransported a total of one person. Not one person per bus - one person total.

At the end of the day, none of the Katrina Evacuee applied for any of the jobs.

Not one person took employment - NONE total.

The bill to FEMA was $7800.

And yet they still get on TV claiming that the UnitedStates Government "OWES THEM", I say we don't owe them anything and if anything, they OWE us - the Tax Payers that are"WORKING PEOPLE",they owe what they have been mooching off of the TaxPayers for almost a year now. It is obvious that they don't
intend to work as long as they can sponge off of the system.

It is time to cut them loose and tell them the free ride is over !
