Dear Mr Plimmer,

I hope that you have paid attention to the words of messers dxAce,
Steffes, Telamon and others. You need to turn your TV set off and give
yourself a break. The media will never tell you the whole story. They
only like to tell the bad.

America will rise up and do everything it needs to in order to ease the
suffering of those unlucky souls who found themselves in the path of
Katrina. Whether the disaster is the handiwork of a group of totally
misguided subhumans from the middle east, or a very unfortunate
collection of weather events which happen from time to time, we will
prevail. The people of America are a kind and benevolant bunch. When
the need arises we dig deep into our pockets and give with a warm
heart. Our motives for giving are true. We realize how fortunate we
are and we give to ease the pain of those who are less fortunate than
ourselves. Our generosity is worldwide and does not stop at our
borders.

Our leaders are Human. They are not wizards who will wave a magic wand
and the problem is gone. As the others on this board has told you,
this is a disaster of the largest proportions. Give those in charge a
chance to show what they are made of. Perhaps as the days go by you
will see that they have done a good job. This my surprise you, but it
will not surprise me.

There is no shame here in America my friend.

Regards,
Bob
