5. Woman on MSNBC holding a sleeping (oh, I pray only sleeping) baby

Says "this isn't about poor people, this is about PEOPLE."

I'm out of words on this ...

8. I saw her, and the woman holding the three babies...

... all the babies looked horribly, horribly sick and close to death. Sunken eyes. Listless.

HOW CAN THIS BE HAPPENING?? Couldn't some private wealthy donors organize their own airdrop if the federal and state governments will do NOTHING?

6. Dumpster diving

actually a good survival tactic. I've done it myself during hard times many years ago. Some grocery stores throw out more produce than they sell. Perfectly good food, just slightly bruised.

7. desperate

But how do you find fresh garbage 4 days after. This just shows how truly desparate the situation is.

9. I watched that also

have been watching much of the day. We look like a 3rd world country, refugees, people dying in the streets. I am numb, I never thought I would see our Government allow americans to starve to death. Why no food drops? Water? Is it because once again the victims are brown? no more, I can not watch and cry anymore tonight.

10. before or after they showed bush saying stealing will be punished
