Some Help..

I was reading on WitchVox (The Witches' Voice) a couple days ago and I came across this: Firefighters, about a 1,000 of them came to New Orleans, thinking they would be putting their skills to use to help save lives in the wake of Katrina, when they found out all their training and time down there would be put to use handing out fliers and phone numbers for FEMA. Oh, and also the occasional shot of them in the backdrop with Bush for PR value. Nice to see the government relief effort respects these firefighters' status...

On another note, I went to another meeting of SPIRAL, the Society of Pagans Interested in Reviving Ancient Lifestyles. Two meetings I've been to so far and they've been pretty informative. I guess I should make it clear at this point that I'm not actually pagan (I grew up in a Catholic family) but I'm researching into paganism from what I call a "logical and philisophical viewpoint". I also recently picked up a copy of Drawing Down the Moon, supposively one of THE books on the history and evolution of paganism in the U.S. I gotta grab a bite before I head out. More to come.
