We saw something about it on the BBC at chow and it amazed us all. Five days of sitting there waiting to die, people dead in wheelchairs and on beds, looting for food and water. It was bad. And then they said a news helicopter was shot at in the air. Awesome. Thanks for stopping by, Mr. Shooter. Way to support the community in it's time of need.
And then the broadcaster turned it all into a race issue and said most of the people there were African American and blathered on how it was a race/class thing. I can understand the money aspect of it, but come on, enough with the Black/White thing already. I wish I could help those people. But that is about the extent of what I can say to how I feel.
I just started reading Victor E. Frankl's Man's Search For Meaning about the Nazi prison camps. It reminded me of the people in New Orleans minus the SS and the Capos. Frankl does say doctors are wrong about how long you can survive without food, though. Lucky for them, I guess.
