Disaster Revisited!: History / Hot Topics / Cold Cases

By Jeannette M Desboine

"Throughout history it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph." - Haile Selassie There are as many stories in the world as there are people. There are as many versions of each story as there are opinions. Wars, great and small, are fought over differences in opinion. Remedies hide in the creases of folded flags while man's inhumanity to man continues to wave its banners of indifference. Disaster Revisited retraces history, hot topics, and cold cases as the author deliberates the poetry of the Katrina Files; examines "the other cheek" syndrome as it relates to high schoolers labeled the Jena Six; laments the fate of young men now the martyrs of our time; and, citing the traumatic deaths of New York's Amadou Diallo and James Byrd, an East Texas veteran, conclusively issues the final word on perspective. Assimilation is to annihilation as the melting pot is to the salad bowl. Every man has a story. Survival ordains that every story must be told... "In the end we will remember, not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." - Martin Luther King
