People Are In Need

Floodwaters in New OrleansI have to say the more I watch coverage of this disaster the more I want to do something beyond what I have donated already. Like physically go do something. It’s so sad to see what is happening in the affected areas. I can not even begin to fathom what it must be like to be in that situation.

I’ve been watching the coverage on CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC. For the most part they have done a great job covering this story amidst difficult conditions. However, I have to say what in world are the big 3 networks, CBS, ABC, NBC thinking? Even tonight they have re-runs and worthless “reality shows” on. The worst natural disaster in the history of this country and they have that crap on TV with maybe an hour special coverage in prime time? Ugh! Clueless networks!

All of that and what I have to say is an apathy about this tragedy. Some people, including many I have encountered in the past few days seem to only be paying attention to this when it raises gas prices and complain about that. Ugh! Perspective people! Look… We have what could be close to a million homeless people from this! Thousands could be dead! The first complete evacuation of a major city in US history.

God help those people in need. And show us as a nation how to assist them.
