On Katrina, donating and other comments

I read with great dismay yesterday that they cannot find Fats Domino in N.O. But what is truly tragic is there are thousands more whose names I have never heard that are missing.

I saw on another blog spot that there are people trying to make this an issue of race. Come on, these people are not black, white, hispanic, french, creole, rich or poor. They are AMERICANS. They are mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, catholic, protestant, baptist, democrat, republican, green party, Scared, Displaced, Homeless, alone in a sea of human misery. They voted for Reagan, Carter, Clinton, Bush, saved or destroyed wetlands, ran for cover when the rains came. They made mortage payments on homes they will never see again. They have forever lost Grandma Dollys wedding album. They have no shoes. Their son will not start kindergarten this week, or maybe next. This is not politics.
