I sympathize with your position, and I pray for your family.
In all reality, it is disingenuous to blame the government. I was watching the news today, and I saw a lot of government helicopters and supplies being unloaded at the superdome.
Truth is, things are so bad no one can get in via land. Most helicopters are being used to pull people off rooftops, and it looks like an entire US city has been wiped out.
Could anyone have prepared for this? Would anyone here honestly believe that an entire major US city could be wiped off the map? It's indeed a sad situation, but trying to pass blame off on anyone is probably an emotional reaction.
Everyone has to avoid playing this blame game crap and band together. The only people deserving of blame are people who relatively unaffected by this national tragedy, do nothing to help.
As others here have done, I urge everyone to donate what they can to the charity of their choice. I know several are listed at the link of FEMA's web site at

In closing, I strongly urge people to be leery of opportunists who pop up in such times of national emergency. Be careful who you give your money to in the name of hurricane relief. |

did you hear me critisciing the locals?NO you heard my frustration with the Nation.....I have family there that i have been in contact with via text message...the media is not reporting all that is happening and is reporting false information.They are just now trying to seal the levees today when it was reported they were working on it yesterday so says the Mayor of New Orleans.The cops that you see supposedly looting are actually takinf supplies for the people not for themselves as they have no communications and no supplies.The bottom line is FEMA and all the other federal agencies were slow to respond.PLain and simple.Do you have family in the South DSLTech?Yes?No?Didn't think so.A lot of poeple in New Orleans are wondering the same exact thing I was.Where is the help?Where's the Presidant.Where's the Gaurd.I wasn't tryingto make it political just spelling and telling it like it is.The bottom line is he is only doing what is asked of him when in this situation we need more than what is asked.I would LOVE for the oppurtunity to ask the rest of the world where the aid to the Gulf Coast is.One damm thing is for sure if Mr Bush would have just signed the wetlands bills maybe there might have been more money and more resources to deal with this calamity.You Mr.DslTech are an ass. |
