I know there's a ton of Hurricane storries today, but this one made me completely change my mind about sending aid.

I had a 10:30 meeting with my company's CFO and head of H.R. to discuss the company matching employee's aid contributions.  I've cancled it and am sending a link to everyone on my e mail list urging them to think twice.

The MAJORITY (not all, but the majority) of the aid is going to end up in the hands of animals just like those in the story. 

The people of New Orleans can have my prayers, but my money will wait for a better cause.

Why do you call them animals? Animals don't loot.

"Is everything free?" asked a woman who pulled up in a red car. Hearing "yes," she started to chant: "TV! TV! TV!" Inside, a teenage boy held up a pair of blue lacy panties and snickered, "I want to see somebody in these so bad," before tossing them in his basket.

I have such great sympathy for most of the victims. Then there are others like this.

I 100% understand your frustration with these low-lifes... but PLEASE consider having funds directed to Convoy of Hope, as I assure you they will use the money to directly provide aid to many needy souls. More info here:

Thanks for listening.

The animals in New Orleans were most likely already on the gummint dole. But there are lots of folks in MS and AL who need our aid money.

If the looters are stea;ing food and water I for one do not find any fault with them.

Dry clothes and shoes I can understand too.

But shoot the rest.
