>Bechtel National Inc., a unit of San Francisco-based Bechtel Corp., has also been selected by FEMA to provide short-term housing for people displaced by the hurricane. Bush named Bechtel's CEO to his Export Council and put the former CEO of Bechtel Energy in charge of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation. These companies are evil. A friend of mine from high school worked at Bechtel for a year, and they turned her into a pro-war conservative. She said that she and her colleagues were literally rooting for more wars, because they wanted the work. -Z

jasonbrzoska.com Anyway, I spent the next seven hours discussing Katrina, labor laws, capitalism, Marxism, feudalism, trust busting, and God knows what else with various family members. During the course of one conversation with my stepdad, a psychiatrist for New York State, mentioned that next week he will be doing trauma counseling at an old National Guard base in Peekskill, NY, where 2,500 evacuees are being shipped in from Houston. He also said that in the efforts to move people from place to place, families are being separated, with some children sent to one city while others or their parents are sent to another. Appalling! Why are they leaving Houston, anyway? Because they can't stay at the Astrodome anymore because in Texas, football must go on!!!

The rape of America continues... Firms with Bush ties snag Katrina deals No surprise there.........they are out to make a killing any way they can. Having said that, I have to say that Americans and the way they have responded to the disaster in the Gulf coast have made me proud. First, they started screaming bloody murder when they didn't think the feds were responding quickly enough; then they began raising tons of money; then they took displaced people in when they had no place to go and now they are doing random acts of kindness like a sign at the Arizona/LSU game: LSU, our home is your home! For the past two weeks, we have been one nation, under God, indivisible. It feels really good! And Mr. no-one-helps-us-when-we-are-down, what do you think of the nearly billion $$$ in aid foreign gov'ts are giving to us to help us in our time of need? Last count, 70 nations have given to us whatever they can afford. Even nations that were shattered by December's tsunami have sent what they could pull together........doctors, nurses, medical supplies, money. On the news on Friday, I saw the militaries of the Netherlands and Mexico come ashore in MS to help with the clean up. In spite of Bush's questionable diplomacy, Americans are still loved. The world still cares about us. Who new that one of the biggest disaster in American history would help us to feel better about ourselves. lol. ted
