Breath...relax and just breath...

Grab a dart, a blind fold and a map...if you don't have time for all of that just pick a state any state and I bet you will find Katrine refugees.

Ok, what was it about Katrina? Really, was it the slow motion, play-by-play that hooked the nation. What was it?

As each news clip and media post played out, the "lack of support" was displayed in a bold flashing neon fashion and to who's benefit?

Today, it is difficult to look around without finding someone who is helping or supporting in the Katrina cause.

Is the media way to hungry for that certain tidbit of news, you know, the tidbit that is dipped in emotion, battered with just the right amount of seemingly wrong doing, and seasoned with the perfect blend of polarizing treats; race, poverty, uneducated, uncaring just to name a few.

Well, is the media to hungry or not? Maybe not. Who is it that has told the media that they enjoy just such a diet. A diet filled with artery clogging stess, and ulcer churning emotion.

Well, my guess, the people that are so eagerly watching every little healthy and overwhelmingly unhealthy tidbit.

Time, it doesn't stop, and people don't just give up.

With each disaster we get to see the best of humanity. THE VERY BEST!

A natural trajedy for sure, and an opportunity that will play out for months and maybe years to come.

Take care.
