"but this one made me completely change my mind about sending aid.
Only a fool will send aid.
Any aid dollars you send will 99% sure get into the wrong hands.
Also, remember the Red Cross just hid 4 terrorists in Iraq from US forces."
Thanks for letting us know your nickname is, "El Tightwad."
If you donate to the American Red Cross, they will handle the funds in a proper manner.
Have you forgotten what the Red Cross did with the 911 donations? Redecorated their Washington office, bought fancy new computers for their paid staff and paid bonuses to a few select upper echelon types? I wouldn't give the Red Cross a stepped on dog turd.
As much as people make fun of the Salvation Army, they don't waste money on themselves.
I am just thinking of my family situation...those we know well and are close too are probably all within 150 miles of each other. I bet we are not that unique. If a Katrina disaster happened here it would effect all extended family as well.
To draw an analogy, when students at a mostly white university riot after a football game, you will notice that most of the rioters are white.
I'm certain many stood behind to protect their interest and property; but...
some of the characters that were on TV, was obvious that they did not have a pot to p!ss or a window to throw it out. The only reason staying in N.O. was to help themselves by looting the stores.
What kind of evidence do you have that the American Red Cross does this? They do not distribute needles and condums to anyone.
are you sure that wasn't the INTERNATIONAL Red Cross?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I'm just saying that I would be shocked if they didn't have kin people somewhere else who could help them. I think many just think the government will take care of them. That's how they end up in a football stadium.
My guess is that these people live even closer to each other. Poor people hardly ever leave where they were born and raised.
I would love to see even ONE picture of young black teens volunteering at a hospital or rescue center in New Orleans. Maybe it is happening and it is not being shown but probably not. The liberal media would latch on to a story like that. Instead they talking about a children's hospital surrounded by thugs. It's sickening.
But they are mere pikers when compared to the looters in the House and Senate.
According to the city/county home page it is 67% black. Thus one might expect 1 out of 3 looters to be non-black.
Property information, like square footage of a house, should be online and no one will be able to fib about that. But personal property is another thing.

I am in the SCA (the group that does Middle Ages reenactments). One fellow is selling his cd and giving all profits to any members effected by Katrina. They probably weren't out looting to their heart's content.
