If you live anywhere near the Gulf Coast, please, please take in a family. i've seen a few websites and blogs where people are posting their homes and offering to take folks in. Some are asking for a drug test (and is willing to pay for said drug test - so it's not too unreasonable a thing), some are adding in various liability clauses.
This tragedy is only going to be matched by magnanimous hearts.
And a note for the "oh-so-christian" contingent who are NOT opening their homes for refuge to those who've been savaged out of fear for themselves and their families let me remind you of something: Christ NEVER said we'd be safe. In fact, he pretty much guaranteed that if we open ourselves up as he did, we would make ourselves vulnerable and it is quite likely that we'd get hurt, just as he did. That possibility does NOT mean that we shouldn't act.
I'm pissed that Bush isn't offering up his stupid Crawford ranch. He's got plenty of land there. Throw up some huge ass tents for now and then build some bunkhouses. There's plenty of room. Do it. DO SOMETHING!
