Post a Comment On: AstralBase

Rather than ranting on about this, I'll merely repost a comment I found on another blog today. It fits my thoughts exactly.

Hey, here’s something to think about. Isn’t it incredibly heartwarming, seeing the naval vessels from Great Britain, Australia, Canada, Mexico, the Phillipines, steaming towards New Orleans, to render aid? isn’t it wonderful how much money the telethons in europe have accumulated to aid their fellow human beings in their great time of need? Isn’t it extraordinary that the search and rescue teams from Switzerland and Malaysia and the Congo are in New orleans now, helping us with this natural disaster?

Oh. Wait. Sorry, I must have been dreaming.

I blame the rest of the world for not helping their fellow human beings in time of need.

The only thing that possibly sickens me more than the apparent lack of outcry from the world community in our time of need, is the actions and behavior of a select group of those that remain in the once great city... looting (not for food but electronics and big ticket items), robberies, shooting at police, and the list goes on.
