Live Wire

A well-intentioned person gently suggested that I take advantage of free mental health counseling provided to people traumatized by the Katrina disaster yesterday. She mistook my anger for lunacy, my impatience for madness. What she doesn’t understand, or refuses to acknowledge, is that the institution she represents is the core cause of my perceived instability. I have high expectations of organizations ostensibly dedicated to service and mission. When they fail, and fail miserably, I share my disappointment with them. Is that so crazy?
