"Just three C-130s..."

Edited on Thu Sep-01-05 12:26 AM by scottxyz

"Just three C-130s could have tossed out enough food and water to keep people alive until the trucks arrived in the rural areas."

People hit by Katrina will die in the next few days because our "leaders" are more concerned about making speeches and appointing taskforces than about actually distributing water and food.

5. There is so much that could and can be done

but we can no longer depend upon our federal government to do anything for us. We are on our own and we better start taking care of each other.
