Be glad to, pay for my plane ticket and get my employers to let me go? Otherwise I will do what is within my means without much fanfare... I've been here, mostly with my ears open and mouth shut, you ought to give it a try. For you and for ANYONE who would like to come, make your services available thru the Red Cross, Mercy Care, or Catholic Services and your help will be welcome. I'll take you up on your offer Spook, I will pay your way down, will you commit a month to help? Give me your employer's name and I will be happy to call and talk to them. Under the circumstances I am sure they will want to support your offer! If not we can ALL call them and encourage them to let you go, to NOT let you would be unpatriotic! With all your disaster experience I am sure you can be used and welcomed. We can use experienced people. I will pass your name to our lead, what disasters have you helped on and I will let them know how experienced you are. I commend you for your offer, it is a generous one and I will be honored to pay for your transportation. I hope you are serious, I am.

Holly Not sure it would be appropriate to talk about here, but if I am able to get online access I will try to set up a blog and let you know what I am seeing and what progress we are being made, seeing the human spirit at it's best is the norm in these situations. It is sad that is not what makes the news. I talked to a buddy down there and he was telling me that while there ARE bad things that are happening a LOT of the "looting" that you are hearing about are people breaking into stores and "stealing" water, food, diapers, things that families NEED to survive that the Red Cross is not ALLOWED to take into the former City. (So the Red Cross can not go in and help but the reporters can go in and report? Maybe they can smuggle in some drinking water!) They do not keep it for themselves, they take it to the convention center ( before anyone else was there to help several days into this thing) and shared them among those that needed them. For their efforts they have been told they WILL be prosecuted for looting ....they SHOULD be commended for saving lives! I have been responding to disasters for 30 years. I have even responded to disasters during other wars and I have never seen anything like the utter cluster that is going on down there. It is not that help is not available, being offered and in position, it is that it is being hindered ---and being hindered by the very ones who should be helping. It has been said those that do not learn from history are destined to repeat it. I sure hope we learn a LOT with this one! It is a TEXTBOOK on what NOT to do! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 05 Sep 2005 14:37:38 -0400 From: ron_m Subject: Re: Leaving for New Orleans or somewhere NPR Dan98908@aol.com wrote: > In a message dated 9/5/2005 11:07:25 A.M.

Mostly I try to avoid work as much as possible. My first aid skills are very rusty, and I have not particpated in a mass casualty drill in more than 20 years. But I am a good follower, and an able leader. I'm sure there will be lots of things that need to be done that do not require more than a warm body.

Subject: NPR: hurricane relief. things to do. this is NPR: NOT POE RELATED. so please don't spaz on me people and tell me to "peddle my shit elsewhere"... LOL. i just wanted everyone to know that the band "PROJECT 12:01" is donating all band cd profits to the hurricane relief. in fact, the band won't even see the money at all, CD BABY will send it straight to the AMERICAN RED CROSS. in case you are unfamiliar, PROJECT 12:01 is a girl-fronted, electro, somewhat gothie, somewhat trip-hoppy style. please do what you can to help out somehow. donate... send warm energies... give blood... do something. the whole thing is an awful nightmare. i personally have family stuck in a shelter and are not allowed to leave. it is heartbreaking. i am fortunate they are alive though. how to purchase PROJECT 12:01 cds (think about it, donate, plus get a cd out of it!): http://www.cdbaby.com/project1201 OR, to purchase/ browse other cd selections also donating (and/or to verify what i'm talking about): http://cdbaby.com/group/redcross?cat=7 OR simply go here: http://www.redcross.org/ thank you for your help. i hope that all of the ANGRY PSYCHOS are safe and sound! love, melly ------------------------------ End of angry-psychos-digest V10 #98 ***********************************
