Hurricane Relief - What Would You Bring?
andyring asks: "In a few weeks, I will be going with a group from my church down to some of the hardest-hit areas in Louisiana and Mississippi to volunteer in the Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. We will be there six days, and have 10 people going so far. At this point, I don't know much more than we'll be in either Slidell, La. on the northeast shore of Lake Ponchartrain, or Pass Christian, Miss., right on the Gulf Coast near Gulfport/Biloxi. Not knowing what we'll be faced with, and having somewhat limited room for supplies, tools and equipment (probably a U-haul trailer), what would you bring on a journey such as this? Any Slashdot readers between Lincoln, Neb. and the New Orleans area interested in contributing to our effort, such as donations of equipment/supplies/tools/etc?"
Call it a troll to stick "Jewish" in there, but you know he was thinking it.
After all, I am strangely colored.
It wasn't God who brought the destruction to the people
How do you know?
Since the poster mentioned (linked no less) several items in the original post to his church, god and all that general voodoo stuff one can only assume he's heading down to recruit.
The last thing I'd want if I was in the same position would be some bible thumper pestering me to "repent" and accept "jesus as my savior" while I'm attempting to dig a hole bury the remains of the family cat and slop out the entire downstairs of human exrement and oil.
I'm an athiest, and I've found that most of the SMART people are too. It's the dummies that need a moral crutch or something to blame that need the incessant chanting from these witch doctors.
