There is so much that is happening. And people are even trying to make this into a racial and class issue because most of the people effected are black or poor. It is getting very sad. These are PEOPLE who need help. Regardless of their race or social status...they are PEOPLE who are suffering...and suffering so sadly and badly. They need help now...right at this minute...our government and FEMA are not doing enough..they are not acting quickly enough..............so many more will die if they don't start acting in a responsible way. You can see people passing out all the time on these pictures from the news..and little babies crying....and there are the precious older folks who I just cry for...my heart breaks for them...

Unfortunately when you get right down to skin, too many humans only look after themselves and this is definately going to turn into a political debate where the people who are suffering will be looked over in favour of the steady stream of votes.

Its time that instead of looking for ways of pointing the finger, people pull together and help these people now as Cass said. Forget everything else just come together and do what they can.

I will pray for these people who are stranded and in need of help.

God bless,

Matthew

As everyone says....very terrible suffering and tragedy which we can all only hope ends as soon as possible. Things seem to be picking up now but would the response from the Bush administration have been so slow and lacklustre had this disaster occurred August 04 rather than August 05?

Excellent Question Paul!
