New Orleans: Fly low and slow over Convention Center to air drop?

Does part of your "hard truth" include the invalids, children, sick,
hospitalized, mentally insane, amputees and people who were too poor to own
a car?

Now, if you had said this was an example of Social Darwinism, I would have
agreed with you.

These people, for the most part, were left behind because they were poor, or
stupid, or otherwise unable to make good decisions.

Don't be so ****ing heartless.

You need to quit trying to freelance and contribute to an existing relief
effort. You are asking someone to essentially throw their pilots license
in the trash by assisting you in your well intentioned but misguided ploy.
Their certificate would be revoked on an emergency basis, and likely
permanently revoked. If you are lucky, the drop wont hit someone on the
head, killing them.

The COLD HARD TRUTH is that many people bear SOME of the responsibility
for the situation they are in.

They were told to get out. SOME couldnt. Many CHOSE not to.

Prudence dictates that you keep a ready supply of your prescription meds,
and TAKE THE MED BOTTLES WITH YOU when you leave home.

Common decency says dont shoot at the goddamn helicopters trying to bring
you food and water, and give you a ride out.

You cant fly relief in until the hurricane is gone. You cant truck relief
in over a demolished bridge. You cant snap your fingers and make a
division of guardsmen appear in 2 hours. It takes time to mobilize
resources.

Yes.. You are right.. people are dying. People died on the bus ride to
houston last night, and no, this wasn't on the news, and no, its not
heresay.

Send your 4 grand to the red cross and if you want to help, call them and
ask what YOU can do to help, UNDER THEIR DIRECTION. If you were interested
in helping people, you would have joined up with such an organization
ahead of time, being proactive, rather than REACTING after the fact.
