When Trailor Parks attack.

Sometimes I actually feel a little sick when I read things that mostly pertain to people not thinking things all the way out. I don't really believe that anything done in this case was malicious, just perhaps not properly planned nor executed.

According to the South Mississippi Sun Herald FEMA trailors that are currently being used to house Hurricane Katrina victims are making inhabitants sick due to exposure to formaldehyde that was used in the construction materials of the trailers. Granted, the trailers were not built nor designed to be inhabited as long as they were but it strikes me as odd that a government agency would make such an oversight and it strikes me as odd that we are still building small enclosed spaces out of materials that contain known toxins.

This whole disaster continues to break my heart. First the impact and devastation followed by a ham handed response, then the barrage of corruption and people acting at their worst and finally stories of how the affected areas are still ravaged, that basic life needs are not being met, that we still can't provide safe shelters for people. I know there have been gems in the muck, people acting for the better good and helping their neighbor and I in no way mean to tarnish those actions. I am just commenting on how hurt we still are.
