Re: Monday, October 10, 2005
Never having taken a cruise, I viewed your Geek Cruise photos to see the beyond-Las Vegas decor. With recent photos of conditions after Katrina, particularly in the Superdome, Convention Center and small towns in Mississippi seared in my brain, I found many of the images of decor and food to be excessive to the point of obscenity. The antics of Roman emperors come to mind. Juxtaposing some of the more bizarre cruise photos with the Katrina photos would make a powerful wordless comment on American social and economic justice. How much of the expense of the trip was written off as a business cost? Just wondering... Also, I am appalled at the waste inherent in our federal government leasing cruise ships at twice the going room rate to use for Katrina victims, as was reported in the press. How wasteful is that?
