Amen.  As you can imagine, people who are far away are thinking up ways to help.  Over the weekend my aunt saw people selling sack lunches for $5 locally.  I just hope that money goes to where it is supposed to.

I pretty much stay away from the tv, too.  And sorry for reacting to your post as if you were a spectator.  You can tell the difference between the people who are getting all their info from the boob tube (and accept it readily)  and it sucks to try to have a conversation with those people. 

Sorry I didn't get your post at first, I'm just sick of people saying "let's wait to see what really happened" with the response, when we know a lot!

We don't watch the media at all.  It becomes nauseating.  Not just abt Katrina but on anything.
 
Reporters act as though their viewing audience are idgits.  While there ARE many idgets who can't think
for themselves ... there are those who DO NOT NEED the new INTERPRETED BY the media.  And
that is what "reporting the news" has come down to anymore.  Reporters think people are too
stupid to understand facts so they HAVE TO interpret the news for us.
 
This is especially true at election times but the tactic is grossly used on most anything.
 
We have a huge 70-inch TV and hardly ever watch it!  We're into reading here ... and not
the newspaper.
 
If people are glued to the tv and Katrina so much and feel adamant abt helping .... sacrifice your
cable tv for a few months and send that money to the Red Cross.
