This card is about letting go. I think it means a change of perspective and/or attitude. This is another of my favorite cards.

You are the Fool card. The Fool fearlessly begins
the journey into the unknown. To do this, he
does not regard the world he knows as firm and
fixed. He has a seemingly reckless disregard
for obstacles. In the Ryder-Waite deck, he is
seen stepping off a cliff with his gaze on the
sky, and a rainbow is there to catch him. In
order to explore and expand, one must disregard
convention and conformity. Those in the throes
of convention look at the unconventional,
non-conformist personality and think What a
fool. They lack the point of view to understand
The Fool's actions. But The Fool has roots in
tradition as one who is closest to the spirit
world. In many tribal cultures, those born with
strange and unusual character traits were held
in awe. Shamans were people who could see
visions and go on journeys that we now label
hallucinations and schizophrenia. Those with
physical differences had experience and
knowledge that the average person could not
understand. The Fool is God. The number of the
card is zero, which when drawn is a perfect
circle. This circle represents both emptiness
and infinity. The Fool is not shackled by
mountains and valleys or by his physical body.
He does not accept the appearance of cliff and
air as being distinct or real. Image from: Mary

Hurricane Katrina

I have been glued to the tv for the last week. It is horrible what those people had to endure. Yes, I agree that their disaster plan is broken. The head of FEMA in the area needs to be replaced. It is obvious by some of the stories of aid being turned away confirms that. I work in a technical field and I've had supervisors and managers that knew less than I did and we were limited by their ignorance. This is what happened here. His name is Michael Brown. He might have adequate in a smaller disaster, such as the damage caused by Katrina in Florida, but he did not have the character to step up and expand the mode of operation for this very worst disaster. FIRE MICHAEL BROWN of FEMA!
This is a quote from this idiot, "The director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency said Thursday those New Orleans residents who chose not to heed warnings to evacuate before Hurricane Katrina bear some responsibility for their fates." And I watched him trying to verbally dodge a reporter asking him about the thousands of people and lawlessness going on at the Convention Center, he finally admitted they hadn't even known about it until that day. The ignorance is revealing. Not acknowledging a circumstance, or worse, denying the severity does not make it go away. Just because the problems aren't in the disaster plan doesn't mean they don't exist. I know television blew a lot of things out of proportion but if they hadn't revealed so many of these evil situations would anything have been done, or how much longer would they have gone on before something would be done. Of course, there could be a philosophy that if you waited long enough, you would just have to clean up the dead bodies and you wouldn't have to worry about rescue.
