I tried, I really did, but I just can't help myself!!!
Okay, I told myself that I wasn't going to watch, listen to, read, anymore news coverage on the Katrina victims but I can't help myself. I am absolutely mesmerized by the goings on in LA.It really is hard to avoid because it is everywhere. I just wish that I could do something more than donate money and necessities. I would love to be able to take in a family because I can only imagine how they must feel having lost everything. I just heard that they found 30 dead bodies in a nursing home. Apparently the employees at the home decided to flee the hurricane (don't know whether or not they left New Orleans altogether or just left the nursing home) without making some type of provisions for the residents of the home. I mean how thoughtless and selfish is that? How could you save yourself and leave 30 other elderly people to die. I mean damn!!!. Why couldn't the employees( or whomever was in charge) figure out some kind of way to get those patients out of there, at least get them to the SuperDome or The Convention Center. Those residents were someone's mother, father, sister, brother, grandparent..I mean Damn. I could never do something like that. Even if I was only able to transport 1 person, I would've done SOMETHING!!! Even the animals were treated better than those people. At least the animal owners had the good sense to drop them off at a hospital in which the doctor there refused to leave until he could get all of the animals to safety (which he did.) Aren't we, as humans, more important than a dog or cat? With some of the stories that I've been hearing, I really can't tell!
