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
»www.fema.gov/press/2005/resource···m#donate
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. |
