[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

What New Orleans needs (and needed) is more Jabbar Gibson values.

This is the picture that I choose to remember about Katrina.

[July 4th]

I said it last night, and I think it bears repeating.

Of all of the thousands of people in New Orleans, Jabbar Gibson is one of the only ones who made the decision to take his life into his own hands, and help himself and others. This uncovers the real social failure. You have thousands of people in the city who just sat and waited for the government. Moral: in crisis, you gotta depend on yourself. Good job, Jabbar. You saved your ass along with 70 others. If only the rest of the city was so resourceful.
