Haiti

I suppose it is good that the Haitians are getting so much coverage but I wonder how long it will last and how many people will pay attention in the months to come when disaster relief is just as important as it is now. The people of New Orleans know what I’m talking about.

Katrina devastated Mississippi and nobody talks about it. CNN lacks of focus... ;)

I think because New Orleans was more a case of bad government than the actual hurricane.

I am always disturbed by the fact that the networks seem far more interested in beating out the competition than in the effects of a disaster on ordinary people.

It's great that you volunteered to help in Haiti. I've been wishing that I were free to go, and that I had the medical skills so needed there.

I feel for the people of Haiti, but I want to hear more about your pornographer friend.

I'm no doctor but I'm a good choice to go to these places in time of need because I don't have any children or pets, I'll never lose my job for doing anything even remotely humanitarian, I can pack my bags and be on a plane around the world at a moment's notice. Many people are more qualified but most of them have too much tying them down.

Sasha, she's not a pornographer. Strictly speaking.

The networks have already lost interest. They're back to talking about "Jersey Shore" and Kate plus 8's new hairdo.
