What's to say at this point about Katrina that hasn't already been said? There are so many points of view, and so many people that have politicized what has happened to meet their own ends. In the Edmonton Journal the last few days there has been a debate between the radio DJ's supporting a teddy bear drive for the kids of the Gulf Coast, and the columnist who pointed out that they probably need more than just our teddy bears...
For me, the following two items summarize things the best:
1) a webcomic (actually my favourite comic anywhere at the moment, other than the temporary return of Calvin and Hobbes for the rest of the year) called Todd and Penguin - in this one, the child-like Penguin shows his concern at not knowing how to help (you can follow the next few comics to see what he tries), and cynical Oscar the cat shows the indifference of many, "it didn't happen to me so why should I care?".
2) National Post columnist and blogger Colby Cosh has an interesting recap on his website.
Various observations about life, including cycling, Guiding, current events, and other interests. (If you found something to be helpful or interesting, please remember to leave a comment so I know you were here! Or e-mail me if you're too shy to comment in public - guidemd at hotmail dot com)
