Jazuela, that was a good idea you had to start with. I hope someone with the power to act took note. Even if one person with a boat took it north/west out of Katrina's path and was able to make it back to NO to help one person, that'd be nice.
The_logos, I totally agree with your view. Food, bottled water, medicine. That's what I'd call essentials. Nothing else. There's no excuse (that I can think of - if anyone can enlighten me, please try) for taking material goods, especially at a time like this.
My thoughts - I do wonder why it took GWB so long to organise aid for the people stranded in New Orleans and other areas. Recently there was a russian sub in trouble off the Kamchatka peninsula but it wasn't 5 days before aid was organised. Yes, NO has been flooded but doesn't the US military have helicopters? And how did all the press get there so fast
