Ideologies of privatization that incapacitate effective government, permitting the privileged to save themselves while leaving the poor clinging to roofs, must now be challenged. This disaster is a chilling reminder of what happens when government fails to protect its citizens, and it is imperative that Americans demand accountability.
新奥尔良就像被困在美国矿井中的一只金丝雀。它现在必须向夺去政府力量、允许特权阶层自救而把穷人丢在屋顶的私有化理念发出挑战。这次灾难令人齿冷地使我们想起政府不能保护人民的时候会发生什么悲剧，美国也必须要有人为此承担责任。没有完成任务的官员必须要被解职、推行加剧了卡特里娜飓风破坏力政策的当选高官也必须进行撤换。我们只有这么做，才能对死难人员和幸存者做出交代。
