1457 Misplaced kindness?
Massachusetts is taking them; West Virginia is taking them; Georgia. All the states now want to look generous. But thousands of people have lost loved ones. How will they cope in Massachusetts? How will they identify the dead? How will they bring them back or reconnect the living? The task just boggles the mind. I think the story of the 29 premies is so compelling. Most of their mothers had gone home from the hospital and the babies were in the neonatal unit. The babies have been evacuated to another state (one mother). Who knows where their mothers are?And there are still people refusing to leave their homes and get in the boats--bodies floating by. Unbelievable. One guy on top of a multi-story building holding a water bottle shouts down, "Everyone who wants to go is gone." Wonder if he is one of the looters. Wonder if he has enough water and food for several months, or if in another week he'll be griping that there wasn't enough help?
