y'all that have noting more constructive to do than bitch, gripe, second guess and pretend that you know what should be done by individual responders puts y'all in about the same class as those that blame Bush for the bad weather.

The problem is that so many of us feel helpless. We want to help. But what if we're in California? What if we have no money to donate right now as they're asking us? I have so many blankets, clothing, coats in my attic that could be put to good use. But they keep saying not to donate clothing. They want money. If i lived near the destruction sites, i'd go there and offer any help that was needed within my ability.

I probably won't donate cash but I did drop off some stuff for the kids at a local shelter with a couple thousand refugees.

If you can't do anything yet then don't participate in the bitching and griping and sniping that is going on on FR and DU.

It is nearly impossible to mobilize effectively for 72 minimum, especially on the scale that is needed.

This is unprecidented and too many 'freepers' (real Freepers are different than 'freeper' posters) feel the need to expose their total ignorance for the world to see.
