Feeling a little disappointed in the country

[netmouse]

It's not just the administration... When 9/11 happened, health centers around the country scrambled their emergency burn units and search and rescue teams to the scene. I can only wonder what they're doing now -I have seen no reportage of a similarly big-hearted and speedy response by anyone except a few organizations for whom it is part of their purpose.

And the national gaurd, of course. Those poor young people. First we send half of them to Iraq, then we ask the other half to take up arms against their own people. Bless them, they signed up willingly for this duty.

What I have been told is that you should wait a week to donate blood. The infrastructure isn't available to get blood to New Orleans right now and any blood we donate right now may not get anywhere before it's unusable. Of course, this is just all anecdotal.
