That could be dangerous. Better to support govt or Red Cross agencies
who
have the knowhow & contacts to do what's needed.

Here's an example...................
http://thechronicleherald.ca/Front/9014787.html

Charlie Crist, the governor of Florida, just announced his state has an
emergency relief site up for Haiti, and that search teams from south
Florida have been "federalized" to aid in the rescue effort.

Of course, he's a smart conservative who understands what needs to be
done when it counts. Mayor Nagin and ex-Governor Blanco could learn a
lot from this guy.

Unbelievable that the citizens of NO put Nagin back into office. NO,
corrupt to the end. At least the state threw Blanco out and put
Jindal, a conservative, in as Governor. Unlike Blanco I'll bet he'll
be able to ask for federal assistance in a proper, timely manner. Can
probably slap some sense into Nagin as well. Use those damn buses!


You are an incredible ass to talk about politics, when there's such a
tragedy unfolding.

Well, isn't that interesting. Thanks for your absolutely useless
comment, jackieboy.

No problem harold, just trying to keep you awake and honest.
Oh well, I'll have to settle for awake.

You're probably right... I was thinking about the people on sailboats who
helped after the tsunami... probably took lots of risks.

MSNBC is saying it might even be 5 times that (~500k).

Disasters in 3d world countries are always bad because they don't have
building codes or the resources to respond to disasters like this.
The building code issue should be a wake up call for the US too. We
have lots of fault lines in the US that are NOT in California. Most of
the US lives with a building code that assumes all loads are going to
be straight down. From a Florida perspective, it is why I am not
shocked when a little dust devil (they call a tornado) goes through
the Mid Atlantic states and rips their houses up. An earthquake that
would not even make a Californian look out the window, would destroy a
large number of buildings in Memphis and St Louis (The New Madrid
zone)


Oh gosh... I haven't been watching the reports. I hope we (as a people) can
help those poor people.

How stupid can one get?

Geez, herring, can you stuff that bad manners sock in your mouth on any
subject, and not show your true insulting self here on humanitarian
subjects?

You and jackoff...a pair of jackoffs.

Yes, you're stupid. Do you need help filling out the form?

They need more help than a few yachts pulling into their harbor.

This would help, if there is one in the area...

Yes, Don. The humanitarian aid is flowing, and that is good. I wonder
how DART will be used, that is, if called upon?
