I can’t watch the news. Poor black people, dieing in the streets. I can hardly sleep at night. All of us in my family lie half awake, in and out of sleep, cursing our government. It is not something that can be forgotton about. In the USA, people dieing because they dont have water in the middle of New Orliens. Like the titanic the poor were left behind. I don’t understand how there is virtually nothing we can do to help. My family has donated tons of money, but it doesnt seem to help, there dieing now. For a government that can mobilize and army overnight, it is hard to cope with the seemingly slow-motion rescue effort. What can we do? How can we protest? I want to steal a plane and airdrop bottled water something. How are people living there day to day lives knowing that they are poor people dieing a few states away. I am willing to do anything. I am wondering if we as an industry could do anything. What about at Surf Expo on the 16th, what if everyone donated something for a raffle? That could raise a considerable amount of money.
As of now my plan is to call the coordinators for the event to start the process. If anyone has any ideas, or any contacts to people who are industry people help me get the ball rolling. I hate that all I can do is raise money, but it too is needed. I am also considering going down to help or perhaps squatting capital hill.
Do you think that maybe now people will come protest against our piece of shit president? He had the nerve to say that we should maintain a policy of zero tolerance in regards to people looting for FOOD, and shoes. If there is a Hell, he will burn slowly.
Until then seriously let’s do something, we are probably some of the luckiest people in the world. We should be able to do something.
No pie in the sky, lets just do something. Expo may be a good opp.
Message me privatly or whatever, phones yeah, however, where ever, lets do it. Any pilots out there wanting to help. Not joking.
