This is cool...


NAPLES, Fla. - Greg Norman is lending his personal helicopter to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort, just as he did after last year’s destructive hurricane season.

Norman sent the helicopter to the greater Louisiana area Friday, and said it will remain in service for as long as a month. His pilot, Gary Hogan, will fly medical supplies and other items into the region.

“Our thoughts and feelings go out to everyone over there,” Norman said.

3. What was Tiger's response?

He could afford to give millions---pocket change for him. I hope he does the right thing.

4. Quotes from him below -- I wish he had said something more

positive.

Tiger:

"It's just unbelievable - not only the devastation but how people are behaving with the shootings and gang rapes and the gang violences and shooting at helicopters who are trying to help people out, trying to rescue people.

"I just don't understand that whole concept. You figure if anything, they would all come together and try to help one another out. But they are doing the exact opposite," Woods said.

"I just can't see how the community is doing that to themselves. They are all struggling. Offer a helping hand to your fellow man, and it's not happening down there at all.

"When they are trying to help them out, then they are not letting them help, which that boggles my mind even more. More people are dying because of it, and it's just a very, very sad state."

8. Its just ignorance.

9. It is way more than ignorance. It is willfully selfish and vicious!

It is not that he doesn't know better. He chooses to think this way! Perhaps he wants to be the only rich black guy! It is as if he climbed the latter of sucess and want sto pull it up after him.

Tiger is younger than i am... he's caught up in money and fame, he's not mature enough to realize what is going on... he's always been a child of priveledge(sp)
