indeed. they showed a bit back on tv a small truck with supplies with hardly any extra workers on board pulling up to a huge # of people...
you need people with you to help keep things orderly, and assure those at the back of the line that another truck will be there soon, and have it arranged so that, yes, that next truck is coming. otherwise, to me, there is almost a cruelty to it.
but with the number of people there to help, surely we can manage to get things ordered in such a fashion, and realize the need for it.
i think the main thing is walking down the line of people and them knowing the next truck is coming.
I recall what it was like to be in the big quake in SF... world series year. '89? anyways... it felt like 'the day after' but it was such a small thing, a tiny thing, next to what is there. but it was that feeling, that it could like Haiti is now... I recall the sigh of relief when we realized it was bad, but it was okay. of course there was that '06 occurance to get us to rebuild stronger. |
