Till we hear from Kirk, here's a good summary of what it's like in New Orleans: http://docbrite.livejournal.com/2007/08/29/ (from docbrite) A large percentage -- I've heard figures ranging from 60 to 75% -- of current New Orleanians are on some form of antidepressant or anti-anxiety drug. The lines at the pharmacy windows have become a running joke. When a visiting expert gave a Power Point presentation on post-traumatic stress disorder recently, the entire audience dissolved into hysterical laughter. Every month or so we get a news story about how many of us are on antidepressants, how many are abusing drugs or alcohol, etc. The numbers are frighteningly high. The latest buzzword is that we're not having PTSD, but continuing stress disorder from living among wreckage and other constant reminders of what happened, still not having levees we can depend on, the increasingly out-of-control cost of living, etc. Many of my close friends are depressed, some so severely that I fear for their lives.

The TMO has conducted massive initiations elsewhere, and what better place to prove what good an organization can do? The Gulf Coast around New Orleans is atypical of the Southern U.S., and values a 'live and let live' approach to life, and could embrace TM for its simple yet profound stress-reducing effect. Much goodwill and organizational revitalization lie in wait for the TMO among the rubble created by Katrina. May the TMO bring relief directly to the traumatized souls, and by so doing, it may also revitalize itself, and perhaps regain relevance, in the U.S.

Mr. Howard Settle, supporter of Invincible America, generates substantial revenue from oil production in or just off the coast of Louisiana, and has a business office in suburban New Orleans. Hopefully he can see the good and goodwill to be created by providing TM directly to the lives of the people and could fund the programs.
