You were right. And there are certain discussions where you have to just say the truth, rather than namby pambying.

I was shocked at Kanye. Clearly not reading the teleprompter. Mike Myers looked so confused and uncomfortable.

The news thrives on giving us the worst, but I've heard some amazing stories of Americans who are helping out. Americans have given TONS of money just since yesterday! Churches are helping, people are letting strangers stay in their homes, donations are rolling in. Dallas has opened Reunion Arena for people. The generosity is awesome. Yes, there are stupid people, but for every stupid person, there's someone who cares and gives. Our government has let us down, but the American people have not.

But, that said...Thank you so much for your clarity and I really do understand where you are coming from now...(sarcastic tone!)

Last time I try to have a discussion with you on this topic.

Boo****inghoo.

Amazon.com has raised $4 million so far. That's encouraging.

Hurricane Katrina is now in the Axis Of Evil, too, I'm sure.

And I would hope that people understood the issues at hand, otherwise there can be no solution.

Seriously.

My though now - is people are getting all jumpy on here over the littlest things...take these same people and put them in a situation like the one in NO - and I'm sure they'd fully understand the horriffic behaviour going on down there....people are being pushed to their limits.

I for one know I couldn't handle it.

Everything in my life - EVERYTHING - seem so small - and I will think again before complaining about my weight - or eating a chocolate bar...those things don't matter.

If anythign good has come out of this tragedy it's a new perspective I feel that I've gained on life.

Life is too short to get caught up in trite things - if you have that much engergy to expell - please take it and do something positive with it.

Didn't his photo-op with the two black girls make you laugh? I can just imagine what he was saying to his advisors. "Bring me some colored girls so that I can kiss 'em and rub their little heads for good luck. Make sure them cameras are on, I want this archived so that I can bust out the pictures to improve my poll numbers when those negroes start their wailing."
