Another View.....

To my friends and family:
What I have seen since Katrina:
The poor and the wealthy hurt by the storm Black, white, hispanic,
oriental and Indian all hurt by the storm. Christian people giving, giving, giving. Churches going all out to minister in Jesus' name
Neighbors going door to door helping one another Thugs and hoodlums
going door to door looking for someone vulnerable. Ice and water being
fought over as police tried to keep the peace.
Out of town volunteers coming with food and staying for now a week still serving it.
The Churches all over this part of the country doing what Christians do in a crisis.
Fema finally starting to do a wonderful job in getting help to us The Red Cross doing a great job in the shelters.
The Salvation Army doing a great job in the community. Four Hundred
crewman from everywhere bring back the power to our homes, churches and businesses.
Lines at service stations a block to a mile long National Guardsman
patroling the streets of Mccomb along with Kentucky State Policemen protecting
us from the hoodlums and thugs of McComb, Pike County and New Orleans
(the most dangerous city in the world before Katrina.)
Doctors, nurses and other hospital personnel working tirelessly, even sleeping at the hospital doing the job they were called to do.
WHAT I HAVE NOT SEEN;
The ACLU setting up a feeding line. People for the American Way helping in the shelters
The NAACP doing any work whatsoever. The American Atheist organization serving meals in the shelters.
Jesse Jackson directing traffic at the gas stations.
I could go on but you get my message. Its the regular people with love
and compassion who do the work. The gripers in Congress should
come on down and get in line to pass the water and the ice and all the sorry
loafers we call Senators and Congressmen. They don't have a clue as to
what this life is all about here on the gulf coast.
Boy I feel better now.

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.
