Hard and dirty work.

I feel bad posting this, but I cannot resist.

I wish more people where willing to put their lives on hold to help. Mr. Penn should be commended for his efforts. On the other hand, He should probably work with a professional, and leave his cameraman at home.

Herald Sun: Sean Penn's rescue bid sinks [05sep05]

With the boat loaded with members of Penn's entourage, including a personal photographer, one bystander taunted the actor: "How are you going to get any people in that thing?"

The Monday morning quarterbacking from the media is out of control. This is a very messy situation, and It is not easy to evacuate a city when the entire supporting infrastructure has been destroyed.

The only decent coverage I have heard on this disaster response has been from Moody radio. They have interviewed a lot of people who are in the trenches fighting the battle. Love and compassion still exist in America, and it is flowing to the victims of this tragedy.

Venomous finger pointing is not going to change the past, and it is going to fuel bitterness and divisiveness. Everyone needs to work together to make an impact on the lives of those effected.
