I could go on and on about how horrific this situation is, and how poorly our government is reacting to it.

To think that people are dying in NO from starvation and dehydration is just plain ridiculous.

I have been sad, pissed off, frustrated... etc... etc... all day. If I could drive to NO and put some of them in my car, I would (but they won't let people go into NO to help!).

I would like to say that I am very proud of living in a state... TEXAS... where we have opened our hearts and homes to the people fleeing NO. There are many stories of people taking strangers into their houses to live for as long as they need to stay. Not to mention that Dallas, San Antonio, Houston and Huntsville... giving these people a place to sleep, eat and shower.

Now, if we could just get everyone out of NO. Other states are offering assistance... trying to get help there... but nothing seems to be happening quick enough. Just horrible.
