Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans - and never mind the fact that movie director and ex-Monty Python funnyman Terry Gilliam is absolutely right in what he says about the USofA (that they are only pretenders - not leaders - of the free world or anything else! They want to appear in control of everything that goes on worldwide - and they were totally taken aback by mother nature in their own backyard! As Gilliam said, the whole "we're in control" propaganda is a LIE - the American Government is full of LIARS - and any Third World country would have truly would have fared better if faced with Katrina's fury! But it is another hypothetical story... of course). The fact is, of course, that after such a natural cataclysm, many more plights follow - none worse than hunger. And it is our duty to help our fellow man. The following link leads you down many roads to be able to do just that...
Katrina Relief
However, famine... hunger... starvation... is NOT a temporary plight. It exists worldwide, every single day of the year. Some facts, courtesy of another site:
HUNGER: DO YOU KNOW THE FACTS?
It is estimated that one billion people in the world suffer from hunger and malnutrition. That's roughly 100 times as many as those who actually die from these causes each year.
About 24,000 people die every day from hunger or hunger-related causes. This is down from 35,000 ten years ago, and 41,000 twenty years ago. Three-fourths of the deaths are children under the age of five.
Famine and wars cause about 10% of hunger deaths, although these tend to be the ones you hear about most often. The majority of hunger deaths are caused by chronic malnutrition. Families facing extreme poverty are simply unable to get enough food to eat.
In 1999, a year marked by good economic news, 31 million Americans were food insecure, meaning they were either hungry or unsure of where their next meal would come from. Of these Americans, 12 million were children. The Hunger Site began on June 1, 1999.
Please remember to click every day to give help and hope to those with nowhere to turn. Every click counts in the life of a hungry person.
Stop The Hunger
The Hunger Site
Again, every click counts in the life of a hungry person.
My advice is - make every single click you ever do count for something worthwhile!

Feeling better is a state of mind more than anything else... so, I guess my mind is at the right place now!
Hurray for me!
Now... yes... the devastation in New Orleans is, I am tempted to say... apocalyptic? And Hurricane Rita goes down to Texas now - for more of the same?
They better stick to generic help funds - "hurricane relief" is the way to call it, with this rapid succession of destructive forces of nature.
Some will say it has happened before - and it has - thus, no cause to think that these are "signs" of the endtimes... The previous most devastating such occurrence was when... in 1933 I believe? Galveston, TX. took it real hard back then - correct? Over 70 years ago... well... 70 years are like SEVEN SECONDS to GOD...
Keep that in mind...
Now, we must help our fellow man - while and when we can. It is the right thing to do - and besides, we might have seven more seconds to spare... who knows?
