I'm a Libertarian living in Humboldt County, CA. I've lived here in Eureka since 1973 and joined the Libertarian Party in 1992. This blog will mostly focus on local political issues, but I may stray into state and national issues as well, when I can't help myself. Please post your comments by clicking on the "comments" link at the bottom of each post. Although I do moderate comments, you need not be a registered user to post them.
The Foundation for Economic Education tells the story of private relief efforts in Louisiana's floods. It seems Facebook played a fairly significant role, along with Walmart, although I wonder how Facebook would be usable if you don't have power?

The Walmart where I work(Georgetown, TX) donated cases of water for them. Walmart does do alot of"behind the scenes"support, At least they're using their mega corporation status in a positive way at times.
It was the locals in their little boats rescueing people & animals. The donations from far & wide poured in. The Red Cross turned all local donations down if they were not on contract. Imagine having to watch 60 dozen doughnuts being tossed by Red Cross because the doughnut man wasn't under contract. Blankets & clothes tossed into the wet streets, because the donators were not under contract.
Heaven forbid if you dared enter the tent with a steaming hot cup of CAFFEIENE.
