delayed hope is still hope

ok, so i read in the paper today that mtv, along with a few other organizations, are putting together benefit concerts for the victims of katrina's wrath. one of which is my least favorite, most hated band: Green Day. old green day stuff was alright, but i can't stand the punks since they decide to be politicians with their music now and especially due to the fact that the younger american crowd buys into it w/o even thinking twice about the content of the lyrics. but no matter how you look at it, i'm very thankful and grateful that help is now in the works for those poor people who had their lives wiped clean by the storm.

another development in the relief dealio is that pres. bush is touring today. he actually is stoppin by my town, Mobile, sometime also, which is pretty cool. lots of rescue workers are now present in new orleans and mississippi. this is all well and good, and refutes some of what i said last night about the relief efforts, but then again, the whole concept of what i was discussing last night was this: as soon as the hurricane was past new orleans, media crews from across the nation were showing footage of the destruction to the nation, some were even there reporting during the storm in various parts of the Gulf Coast, ....so why did it take 4 days to get the president down here and finally a good deal of helpers and benefit concerts? i know some of these things can't be thrown together til after all is said and done, such as the benefit concerts being pointless until
they can see how bad the damage is and then see the need for the fund raiser, but even so, many of the other projects goin on now are pretty far behind what i would think the appropriate timeliness would be, but maybe that's just me.

again, keep all these people in your hearts and prayers. take care-
