"It's amazing the difference in response of the northern states to Katrina and the southern states response to 911 and New York. I may have missed the candle light vigils on Broadway though."
Excuse me. The stations up here all are doing tons of stories on how our fire, rescue, ems, local citizens, etc. are collecting donations, gathering supplies, and sending teams down there to assist. As one search and rescue person put it, "We haven't forgotten all they did for us after 9-11 and we want to do the same for them." After he said that, he got on a truck for the 18 hour drive down.
Sorry we're not moving fast enough for you. And thanks for thinking so highly of us.
As a Texan that loves the Gulf Coast, accept my appreciation for all the help being sent this way. Ignore those that speak unkindly, this is a time to put all that aside. May God bless all those that respond with money, labor, and prayer.
