From an AP article:

"NEW ORLEANS (AP) - In the absence of information and outside assistance, groups of rich and poor banded together in the French Quarter, forming "tribes" and dividing up the labor.

As some went down to the river to do the wash, others remained behind to protect property. In a bar, a bartender put near-perfect stitches into the torn ear of a robbery victim.

While mold and contagion grew in the muck that engulfed most of the city, something else sprouted in this most decadent of American neighborhoods - humanity.

"Some people became animals," Vasilioas Tryphonas said Sunday morning as he sipped a hot beer in Johnny White's Sports Bar on Bourbon Street. "We became more civilized.""

The rest of the article is here

Yes - the current administration, in my opinion, responded much too slowly to the disaster that was Katrina.
Yes - there are looters, people shooting at those who are attempting to rescue them, and numerous NO police officers have abandoned their duties.

Many people are dead and dying, and New Orleans is, for the most part, just GONE.

But - as I had hoped, good people are stepping up and doing amazing things.

The pundits will argue, the administration will become defensive, and Hillary Clinton will request a "commission to investigate".

But the people with the REAL guts will stitch each other up, wash their laundry in shifts, protect each other and their property...and they will survive. They will recover.

This is why I never lose my "faith in humanity".
Yep - there are vermin-like looters and uncaring officials.
There are also ALWAYS good, strong people who step up to the plate and take care of what needs to be taken care of.

Rock on.

As with everything else in life, there are those who will ask what they can do to make the situation better and those who will wallow and try to place blame. I just wish I could sit up in a tree and shoot the looters with tranquilizer guns.
I've actually avoided all news accounts of the hurricane because of the fact that they tend to only report the obvious and the worst. I definitely wish those survivors the best of luck in regaining some semblance of normal.

And oh yeah, allergies definitley suck ass!

Nice entry. Finding something redeeming...

Actually I did not critique myself hard at all this show. I probably played the best show since joining The Sins.

Take it easy
