Well, I was exaggerating momentary feelings of queasiness. I don't really feel that way.

I think I was trying to say something about how this situation is so extreme, and the political spinning and illusion-making on all sides is so extreme, that it's impossible to know how to feel about it.

Can't trust the media.

Can't trust the government.

FEMA wants me to give money to Operation Blessing and Second Harvest.

The reports of gunfire at helicopters are shown to be lies. The reports that Gov. Blanco didn't "file the proper paperwork", which filled the media, are shown to be lies. Someone created and coldly used those lies.

And the implications of what CaptainJ appears to be saying are depressing.

It's a crazy, ugly, sad situation. In situations like this, who knows if it's right to give money, and if the money you give will be used properly?
