The wheels on the bus go round and round

The wheels on the bus are, according to the children's song, supposed to go round and round. Except in New Orleans they didn't. At least not prior to Hurricane Katrina hitting. Which is a shame, because they could have been used to help tens of thousands of people who lacked transportation evacuate.

One school bus got put to good use—by a young man who'd never driven a bus—but who drove it all the way to Houston picking people he didn't know up along the way. See a problem, find a solution, help others out. Jabbar Gibson is a hero—New Orleans, and the United States, needs more people like him.

Its extraordinary that the Hurricane Katrina disaster falls so close to September 11. Both events install a sense of powerlessness. Not only because these events are outside of our control, but also in the sense that there are so many people needing so much help and I am just one person 1,000 miles away. What can I do?

I have decided to answer this question and to act. I am posting ideas at my blog: m0smith.freeshell.org. Feel free to email me any ideas you might have.
