Human Spirit
I wanted to voice some thought on this for a while now. When faced with a catastophre we see the true nature of the human spirit, good, bad and divine. I watched people give money and their homes to strangers and I have seen people who are stealing and taking advatage of them. Those that are evil seem to be given more press, however the good need to be recognized too. I find it sick to say that the "United States" has strong will to overcome this disaster, becuase you know we need help and we are getting it. Countries like Sri Lanka, donating what they can Cuba ignoring international situations and offering help even making the statement you don't kick an enemy while they are down. The huge scope of this is not just the nation you are from, it is the Human Spirit. New Orleans will come back and so will all the other towns that have been so horribly affected by this storm, not because of the money but because of the people who loved their home. I will end by saying, this may not be the most eliquent post but understand that right now Humanity is stepping up to help everyone not a country not a nation but Humanity the spirit to help others is huge politics should be dropped lines should be crossed it may be sad to say that it takes a tragedy like this but for right now much of the world is united together in one goal, shouldn't we be happy for a little while we are on the same side.

A great and true addition to an age old saying. Just thought it went pretty well with your great article!

you've made an excellent point here. i'm really impressed that countries like cuba, venezuela & iran want to help us. and countries that i've never even heard of! i hope we allow them all to help, this is a good time to tear down barriers & let the better in all of us shine thru.
great post!
