I heard on the news that "they" considered not having the celebration this year, but they went ahead with it for the people. I think they wanted to have a time where everyone can let go and be relaxed - and of course, bring more money into the area. The news showed a group of men that call themselves the Zulu group (or something like that) and most of them lost everything in the hurricanes, but they were not giving up hope for the celebration. I think that some of the people down there need this right now. NOW, I totally agree that more should have been done and more should be done to help with the recovering of the storms, but I think with this celebration going on, there is hope - a glimpse of what was and what it still is (no matter how devasted it is there).
