Links are provided on the sidebar to donate to Hurricane Relief. There are other charities mentioned both here and elsewhere that are very deserving. Michelle Malkin has that over 45 million dollars has been pledged so far. Many of the more “celebrity driven” sources of funds are slow to get involved with this. Whatever your view of what is happening in the Delta region, the human suffering is tremendous. I think about little things. For instance, if I couldn’t get my heart medication, I would be in a mess. (You can’t stop taking beta blockers suddenly) What about eyeglasses? Underwear? Simple medications for arthritis? Stuffed animals for kids? Socks?


We watched a video tonight on CNN where a reporter caught several law enforcement officers in a Wal-Mart….looting shoes.


The impotence of government in a complete social breakdown is amazing. There is a lot to be seen in the video of looters. If you don’t think all the rhetoric/music of resentment from certain quarters in this country turns into the looting we are seeing, you are blind. Taking all the guns from a Super Wal-Mart? Carjackings? Shoots fired at police? What is this all about? The underclass in a city like New Orleans live on the edge of a lot of things….including, unfortunately, the edge of humanity itself.
