Because it's not like there aren't donation/various other collection drives going on all over the nation to send aid.

True, but many are having to pull back from certain shelters as they cannot guarantee safty for their staff. Yesterday the news said thugs have actually taken over some shelters. Taken over! And sadly, most of all the thuggy people you see on the news are African American. Way to inforce a stereotype. It's no wonder Martial Law has been declared, which hasn't been done since WWII in Hawaii. (Definition of Martial Law here:

Oh, and here's something wonderful that I heard from a friend. Bush is denying foreign aid help. (Although some countries are still donating to American Red Cross and such.)
I couldn't find anything about this, but I found these quotes:
"Bush told ABC-TV: "I'm not expecting much from foreign nations because we hadn't asked for it. I do expect a lot of sympathy and perhaps some will send cash dollars. But this country's going to rise up and take care of it."
"You know," he said, "we would love help, but we're going to take care of our own business as well, and there's no doubt in my mind we'll succeed. And there's no doubt in my mind, as I sit here talking to you, that New Orleans is going to rise up again as a great city."
I find them sort of humorous. I also found a sign on the side of the road that said "Impeach Bush, give him a REAL vacation" to be pretty funny too.
