There are 200,000,000 of us only and only about 2 million of them. If
you haven't already thought about what you can do for the victims of
Katrina, take a few minutes and think through it. A little bit of help
from everyone will go a very long way.


Go watch WWL-TV on http://www.wwltv.com/ and click on the live
broadcast.....

Then, go watch WLOX-TV in Biloxi on http://www.wlox.com/
You can't watch LOX live because there is no LOX TV station! But, WLOX has
some of the finest video footage of the storm areas on-demand from that
website. I've watched hours of helicopter flights over Coastal MS, today.

Coastal MS is GONE....nothing left....no people.....no buildings....gone!

Noone can get to the flood victims in New Orleans.

Question - Where is all this aid going to? Are we buying another Centrex
telephone system and paying off Red Cross bureaucrat salaries, like we did
in 9/11, again? The only thing I see from all the helo operation footage
from the TV stations down there is a few military police vehicles trying to
help the local cops keep the few victims left standing from eating each
other and stealing their neighbors' TVs and stereos. There's not one
"shelter" or "feeding station" or any kind of massive handout of
food/water/clothing or any kind of tent city in any of the footage. WLOX
did a piece on a fruit stand owner selling off his stock really cheap
before it spoils. There are very few people in any of these places, long
left for safer places where there's food/water/lodging/etc...... So?
Where's this money pot pouring into?

It's a question that needs to be addressed before the aid bureaucrats go
off stealing it again....

I did my part for the 9/11 victims, by the way. I asked a fire chief in
Manhattan to put me in touch with a dead fireman's wife so I could give her
DIRECT aid to help her immediately. He had her email me from her home in
NJ. I told her to send me her electric bill. I paid it for 6 months while
the NYFD bureaucrats were screwing about with her pension payments. I
contacted a local restaurant near her home on Thanksgiving when she told me
her parents were coming in from Ohio and tried to get them to cater
Thanksgiving Dinner for 3 adults and her kids. I tried to give them my
credit card number, but they refused. My victim got a Thanksgiving Dinner
surprise her family will never forget....it was on-the-house from the great
people at the little restaurant. Six employees showed up and served
dinner.

The feeling of doing something DIRECTLY is...............priceless!

Maybe I can do this again for someone DIRECTLY in LA or MS, a few months
from now when they are allowed to go home......but not now as there is NO
HOME TO GO HOME TO!

I'm still trying to follow this big money trail everyone is
creating...Something smells like a Red Cross Ripoff again.
