There is no doubt that the Red Cross does good, but it moves more slowly than a glacier in the times when glaciers moved slowly. And it does not seem to be where it is needed. For an organization of that size I find it inexplicably out of touch. Do bear in mind that viewpoint is a narrow one. There is perhaps a big picture I am not seeing.<br /><br />The organizations that seem most effective now are ad hoc. Occupy Sandy is dispatching people and goods to where they need to be, and is very mobile in terms of social media updates, and information-distribution. I vote for them or the smaller places they support.<br /><br />http://interoccupy.net/occupysandy/<br />Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17086277483606295046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-18973570520728466332012-11-08T19:01:27.399-05:002012-11-08T19:01:27.399-05:00How could anyone not like a lady whose nickname is...How could anyone not like a lady whose nickname is Bonbon?
