We The People VS We The Government

This week the one word that stood out, especially on the Spike Lee movie, was WE. Every time that someone spoke they were lumping themselves into a WE. It was every desperate girls dream, WE was flowing like drinks at a club. But, here is were the WE party hit a snag, no one could decide what WE they were a part of. It was a monogamous man's nightmare. Which WE did you side with? Which We did you listen too? But, as you waded through all the different sections of WE, we came down to two majorities. We, the people, those affected by the hurricane as well as their American brothers and sisters, and We, the government, that would be you politicians out there. And, as I sit here and spill my guts to the internet I wonder what created this divide? How could WE as a country failed so badly that it became the hurricane civil war. The levies were weak, that is a fact. The government took an inexcusable  number of days to respond to this crisis, that is a fact. Hell, the president continued to vacation while the people of Louisiana and the Gulf drowned, this is a fact. But, this divide should have never been created. And now six years later I feel the divide may be changing. The WE's may be shifting and taking on a new face. I fear the WE's are still two camps but two very different camps. The first WE is still those affected by the hurricane. But, I fear that you and I may no longer be in that WE. My fear is that we now sit in the second WE, the devil WE with the horns and pitch forks. It is no longer the government who forgot them and vacationed, who forgot them and ate, who forgot them and shopped. It is now us the American brothers who forgot them and in the process forgot to help. I assumed that after six years all had been returned to what is right. That the people who fled in the days before and after the vicious storm had returned. They had rebuilt and had begun to live again. But, after the Spike Lee movie I find that this is not the case. WE have forgotten to bring them home, WE have forgotten they are still morning a loss, WE have forgotten that they still need us. To put it simply WE have forgotten.
