18. Some people over here are still unaware
as to the full extent of the tragedy

I said to one of my friends earlier, have you seen what happened in NO

When I told him it had been almost wiped off the map and had been completeley evacuated and thousands were dyeing, his jaw hit the floor.

19. watching from Canada, I'm not laughing
I feel like throwing up. What has this man been doing since Monday? If he watched CNN at all -- even 30 seconds of the reports from Jeanne Meserve and Anderson Cooper -- he would know what's going on.

I'm off to donate blood now.

20. I'm from "the world" and
I don't feel like laughing at all. A catastrophe like this, and the US president is doing photo-ops, for three whole days the press says "50 to 80 dead", the US rejects assistance from Canada and other countries - I guess "the world" figured it was not a big deal. And now we see reports like this: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9160710

The race aspect could not be more apparent. I suppose most reports will chalk it up to incompetence, because people have a short memory and so do the media, but **even** if it was incompetence, it's scary as hell. The only thing scarier is what it really was: an experiment in eugenics.
