Katrina

Like everyone else around the world, I’ve been having a hard time getting my head around the utter devastation caused by Katrina on the Gulf Coast earlier this week. Of course, Liz and I made a contribution to the Red Cross (I’ve been really amazed at Microsoft’s response to Katrina) and am glad that they’ll match employee contributions at 100%.
There’s been a lot of talk lately on whether or not the looting that occurred in New Orleans was justified. When I see people running down the street with a new TV, it angers me because I know for a fact that if my child was starving, I’d be breaking into a store to provide him with food and water. I’ve been spending a lot of time this week thinking about the lengths that I’d go to protect and provide for my family, and how unimportant most of this technology crap is.

This is to the various government entities, Who do we blame for Rita?
