....so maybe this is a wake up call about where and how our

countries resources are being used and what can be done about it.

 

 

Dear Eric ~ I agree with you. This is a huge wake-up call. Now there is

something that calls our attention to some things that were there all along, and

not just there, but in other parts of our country as well. There are many

people in this nation who live as if they are in third world countries ... the

richest nation in the word, so we are told. I don't know what the answer is.

I spent my working life at trying to make a difference for some of these

issues, but it is like a circle or a spiral ... if they are not truly solved,

the problem comes back around again, sometimes in many small ways we do not see,

sometimes in a huge way we cannot ignore.

 

I have not yet taken the action to write my elected representatives about

this ~ what is has happened along the Gulf Coast and our pitiful response until

very recently. But this will be at the top of my list, right along with

prayer for tomorrow (Monday). I am saddened by all of this, and the toll of the

dead will be higher than anyone imagines, not to mention the suffering of the

ones who remain with no place to go. Yet I always ave believed and continue to

believe that even one person can make a difference. And there are quite a

lot of us, even just here on the digest.

 

Jai Ma,

Linda
