It's not my amazing rescue effort. How would I know what it being acomplished right now? I doubt that all of the possible 200,000 will all be sick or dying within a few days. I was commenting that the massive Federal effort was seen (after being distorted by the media) as a lack of help. No matter how big the government it can't protect everyone from natural disaster - especially if those suffering live 10-12 feet below sea level. I was involved in a large flood relief effort along the Susquehanna River in 1972. After getting an itinerant TM teacher across the last remaining open bridge I was stuck for several weeks with a local fire dept after the family house was flooded. Food by helicopter, rescue by boat, shoveling mud etc, looting, national guard - the whole works. Everyone did the best they could... people died, dikes broke, bodies floating in the back yard, houses in the back yard... ya I know about it. It was remarkable all that was accomplished despite all the grumbling by folks who didn't understand what was going on. Parts of many communities where never rebuilt. Dikes where rebuilt and rasied. In 1977 it almost happened again... I don't live in the flood plain. JohnY ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
