We people of the Mississippi Gulf Coast know for a fact that the people claiming to have been so deliberately neglected following hurricane Katrina lied then and continue to lie even now, three years later. Were you people in the UK also informed that many New Orleans residents died as a result of refusing to leave? Did you also receive details of how some New Orleans hurricane victims shot at rescue helicopters attempting to provide rescue them and take them to safety? Were your people informed of the fact that New Orleans resident stomped on food relief items that were brought to them and cursed relief personnel? It is best to know the truth instead of relying on hate propaganda published in support of the left wing agenda. hedge-fund, perhaps the first thing you should do is to avoid making assumptions based upon media lies.

Not sure about the dream and the spirit interpretation.Small town guy in middle america will have different priorities to say D Trump, not sure about the us ceo people , excluding messrs gates, allan et all, i think they are the same as the uk equivalent - ie right place at right time and getting paid lots of bucks and not really accountable. In uk we tend to have our own dreams usually also in national interest. I believe it was an american cockup that started this economic downslide, unfortunately most of the western banks invested in this cockup and we will all be paying for it over the next 5 + years, in various ways,all linked to funding or lack of! I believe that the home of capitalism, which most of the west subscribe too, actually nearly screwed the capitalist system and we in uk and europe just followed. Now we have the most ludicrous situation where the bastions of capitalim, the banks, are bailed out by the state!. Shades of socialism, but the us doesnt do that one! Individuals will survive by battening down the hatches but corporations and the state sector (in all forms in uk) are going to be on a dripfeed downwardsfor some time. Meanwhile india and china will be beavering away to gain advantage in world markets. Barack Obama seems to offering leadership but the usa has lots of vested competing interests , interests not always for the us, but themselves. I would suggest that the ladder of oppurtunity for most us citizens (not all remember new orleans and the hurricane - those citizens were ignored as per world news) has slipped and most us people are starting to be more aware of how their country works. All unsettling - here in uk we had this for some time and also had a weak, in circumstances, prime minister; the world economic down turn has given g brown some sort of status, albeit short-term. In th uk we are used to being in the shit. In usa they are facing it. How we all get out of it is not clear at present - the buck has stopped with our leaders for time being.
