more emergency volunteer worker updates...

( find it here )

( and another )

If folk are still interested, I'll continue as I get them.

(no subject)

If you can spare even $5 -- http://www.redcross.org/donate/donate.html The Red Cross needs cash more than they need supplies right now, sounds like. If nothing else, they're going to need to buy lots and lots of vaccinations for the refugees in NOLA and all along the affected areas...


And, a spot of IMGDO --

Shoot the looters. Shoot them now. Okay, shoot them with tranq darts. But make sure it hurts. And when they wake up, have "Looter" tattooed on their forehead so everyone else can read it.

All right, I know there are people out there who are trying to get basic supplies. But there are reports of people carrying off sneakers, cash and electronics, for christ's sake. Dude, where are you going to plug it IN?

Bastards.

One last report...

I wish I could say "surprise, this is all a joke." It's not.

( pray for New Orleans... )

martial law in NOLA

and apparently we not only have to deal with looters, but car-jackings and price gougers, too.


It's one thing to announce martial law. They have to be able to enforce it, too. I'm not sure you can, under these conditions.


*sadness for the entire country*




I'm going to go let the cats sleep on me for a while. Just a thought -- if everyone who has this journal friended were able to donate $5 to an emergency charity, that would be $1000 going to help out the survivors. If we passed that along down the LJ friends-chain... how much money could we raise?
