Katrina: Search and Rescue--What a Concept

Finally the troops are arriving. It's about time.

Wouldn't it be something if our military was as proficient at search and rescue as search and destroy?

Wouldn't it be great if the Marines, the Army, the Air Force, and Navy were saving lives, instead of spending them?

Oh, isn't that what the military was established for -- defense?? Let's defend against the enemies that would kill our people, all people. Right now it is the aftermath of hurricane Katrina. Not a country whose oil may benefit our bottom line.

Whose bottom line? How many years of Middle East destruction and killing will it take to get us all the fuel we can pour down our SUV gullets? And at such a reasonable cost.

Who's got it backwards? W.who?

Is it time that we, the people recall or learn again that the government works for us?

Who da boss? W.who?

Not!

Did you vote last election?

As a whole, maybe we deserve what we got. We are only victims when we let our civil servants act as masters. Isn't it obvious now that they are not? Simple, common sense tells me that when we take back control of our lives, recognizing respect for all life, we will all live a little better.

I could go on. But it all comes down to respect for life. All life. Recognize the benefits of diversity. Don't cut off your feet because they are not hands.

Search and rescue -- a worthy cause. We all need a little saving. Who is your God? Did It create all life? If so, then guess what? That's mine too.
