A congressman made an excellent point on TV this morning re all of the fundraising efforts going on for Katrina. He said that the Pentagon doesn't go around with its tin cup out when its time to fight a war; they are granted unlimited amounts of money to supposedly protect us. Yet now in this country, on our soil, we must beg the citizens to help out when an unprecedented natural disaster strikes. Think about it. It is insane. ------------------------ Yahoo!
