I like to keep the faith that we're a resilient and caring nation and as we watched the faces of those scared people, especially kids, being rescued there was no doubt we'd be making a donation to the Red Cross at our respective jobs today, but I just have to say it totally burns me up inside there are those among us who look at such a tragic disaster as an opportunity to loot and rob others. It doesn't much matter to me other countries won't or don't ever come to our aid but expect it from us when they're in need, that's the way it's always been, probably always will be, it doesn't make me happy, but I can live with that, because like Bigfish said, we're a resilient and caring nation.

Alot of good points BF. As for me, I give as much as I can, and will. I have learned a long time ago to give and not Expect to recieve. I give because I feel it helps, be it here or abroad. I am a believer in do onto others, and have witnessed good deeds go rewarded. Be it sooner or later it all comes back around, the good and the bad.

Just to keep it in perspective, and not that I excuse looting, but a lot of those people are grabing food and diapers, because they don't have any and can't buy any. Not the Tvs are an entirely different deal.

The looting is really sick.
Saw a report about a fairly poor family who lost almost everything in the flood...then they found out their only valuables like a cheap family computer etc... were stolen
