re: [lace-chat] donating/perception of K.

i think they are showing better judgement by not giving money where no
one is smart enough yet to know where to put it.  there is no
leadership involved in any decision so far, and it has costed lives and
is slowing down the whole process of placing these people out of harms
way.  

if you sent donations to the same people who originally planned this
evacutation, then you need to think a little more clearly.  it is nice
to help, but if you don't know where is best to send your help, keep it
to yourself until you have first hand information of what is best to
do.

 nor can we alter your bias, it seems.
 As well, you seem to want to believe the media without question.

Re: [lace-chat] donating/perception of K.

i don't think this is really a world wide issue.  i know the u.s. has
recieved a lot of condolences, but something like this even though it
is large, is not large enough to be taking donations as far as other
countries.  our people should be better prepared and should be able to
handle this. 

it did not make sense with all the big helicopters and ships and boats
that could have been used and would have been used if they had
correctly arranged it, why they weren't set and ready to go out, and
why are they sitting around waiting for the right paperwork to come
through before they get out and do what they knew to do already?  they
don't make any sense. 

there are still survivors scattered all over new orleans, so they are
finding quite a few, but they are also riding by the same dead bodies
over and over again and saying the same thing:  we were told to only
pick up living survivors.  ok, but why not get another boat out there
to pick of the bodies?  did they run out of boats?  they are along the
coast where there are nothing but boats!  did they run out of people to
drive the boats?  then they should say i need more boat drivers.  you
have no idea how many volunteers there would be if they knew what to
ask for.  if they are still having problems now, then they still don't
know what to do.  i can see why so many people over seas are
complaining because we still haven't done it correctly.

that is only my opinion, but i know if they would just ask, they would
get what ever they ask.  someone there doesn't know what to ask for. 
they just sent a bumbled attempt one after another, and everyone that
touches it has messed it up.  they don't know what to do.  if this had
happened in florida, there would be no question about it.  they know
what they are doing, but this area doesn't.  it should, but for some
reason they can't get it together.
