If there's one thing I've learned from listening to Barack Obama, it's that "we are the change we have been waiting for" is the gods' honest truth. Do we want to change the response to disasters like this? Our government is limp; we can do better.
I just created an "Iowa and Indiana Flood Support" group on MyBO; as soon as it's approved and active, I'll post an update. In the meantime, if there's anyone willing to volunteer to either physically help or help come up with ideas for what people who live far away can do to help, please comment.
Yes We Can.
