Way cool to see how people are jumping in to help out.  Particularly cool is how the experience some of these people have actually exceeds the emergency responders.  I read a post on here a couple days back where someone was poking at the conservatives about how the government was valuable in this situation and private industry wasn't.  Turns out everybody's pitching in, inclusive of private industry, and this sounds like a mutual effort for recovery far beyond anything I've witnessed here in my lifetime besides 9/11.  It'd be nice if both the right and left didn't take a stubborn stance on one side or the other, and recognized the strengths and weaknesses of both to arrive at an optimal solution.

Also, I don't remember so much cooperation in New Orleans when Katrina hit.  Sometimes I rib the Texans about their pride in their state...but I gotta admit they have something to be proud of.
