I'd prefer instead to believe oman that Roger oman wrote most of his article a few days ago, before the oman shocking human suffering gradually and hideously bloomed on our television sets. He was high and dry, safe and sound, just composing another blog rant with the usual (and usually appropriate) online/offline walls and filters in place. Well, I hope so, at any rate. Sure, he still made a mistake in posting the story days late, a mistake in neglecting to plan adequate links to relief efforts, a mistake in failing to show convincing empathy for the poor souls still trapped in the city, and a mistake in being apparently oblivious to the rage building in the hearts of many members of his intended audience. But hey— at least he's not alone in those mistakes, right? to be fair, by Insoc, 09/06/2005 01:44:11 AM EST (none / 0) Ozymandias by SeventhCycle, 09/04/2005 04:57:39 AM EST (none / 1) Way to... |

| Then again, maybe the metaphors do have a purpose, because they helped to highlight the genuinely creepy album (music) aspect of Roger's report for me. It doesn't have any people in it. Oh, album (music) sure, it has an abstract, collective "people of New Orleans," but they're completely faceless. The two specific individuals mentioned in passing, Roger's wife and father, are brought up merely as explanations for Roger's location at a couple points in time. Does he have any friends in "his" city? Is he on speaking terms with his neighbors? Hell, does he album (music) even order coffee from a familiar face on a regular basis? Is he worried in a personally connected way about anyone other than his wife and himself? Of course he is, I'm sure. But why isn't that part of his story? The whole piece is so detached from the vivid agony that comes through even in a Fox News broadcast that I'm tempted to think there's a bit of a psychological coping mechanism at work; Lord knows detachment can make tragedy more bearable, particularly in the short run. |
