Disaster Relief

It's a relief that a very good friend of mine is in town from Biloxi (stationed at Keesler AFB, the site's probably currently offline). It's a relief that he and his wife are alive and well. It's not a relief that I actually know someone who literally survived with the clothes on his back. We don't know if they have a home any longer. We just know that they can make a new home, when the time comes.

His brother is enroute to serve JAG duties in N.O.

There's word that the second 25,000 refugees from New Orleans will be coming here, to San Antonio. Likewise, there's word that some may be going as far as Dallas. I hope we're able to take good care of them.

Riddle me this...

What kind of moron spends time looting in this situation? You're wading through water that can kill you for, what, some free beer? A television? That's a good choice.

Why were we better equipped to support tsunami victims than our own neighbors?

If you can help, please help. If you need help seek help.
