Totally fucked up
Do we live in America? Or Bangladesh?
My dad writes, "Just watched CBS news, where countless thousands of almost exclusively black people are stranded on the only dry places interstate hiways in blazing sun with no water, no water drops no immediate support...One elderly woman was sitting on the interstate railing beside the body of her dead husband who had died during the night. When she asked for help from the authorities she was told just to move his body further away to avoid the smell."
Check out also, dispatch on Boing Boing.
What the fuck? Thousands dead?
What are we to do? To start, if you are having a Labor Day shindig, why not collect donations for the American Red Cross at your party. My house did something similar for the tsunami survivors at our New Year's party this year and raised a couple hundred bucks from our 20-something non-profit-staffing guests--imagine what you could do.
