I want to mention that tonight on the news they indicated a number of countries are now offering whatever assistance they can. That's wonderful. They didn't list the countries or I would be the first to tell them how much I appreciate their concern and offers to help. It makes me, at least, feel very grateful!

The story in New Orleans with the gangs of thugs threatening even those trying to help is so sad. I understand people stealing food or water ... but I'm afraid those stealing TVs, and other non-emergency things are demonstrating the worst in human behavior. As a matter of fact, it's stretching things to call it human behavior.

I sure hope the police and military can soon take control and bring these people to justice.
