I have asked the moderators if we could start a thread with all the heartwarming, good news stories that are coming out of the disaster called Katrina.
The MSM is purposely not reporting these stories and we need to do something about it.
Everyone is encouraged to post URL's, stories, etc.
I've started with A Small Victory http://asmallvictory.net/archives/009740.html
Michelle is already on her fifth thread of good news stories that have been contributed to her site.
Have at it, folks.
One of the sweetest stories to come out of this is the one about Jabbar Gibson, the teen who took the school bus and transported 80 "strangers, old ladies and newborns" from New Orleans to Houston.
When Greta Van Sustern interviewed him last night she asked him if he had ever driven a bus.
--"No, M'am."
"How did you start the bus?"
--"I found a key and tried all the buses til one of them started."
"How long did it take you to get to Houston?"
--"Eight hours."
"How did you manage to drive all that way."
--"I drove very slow."
"Who paid for the gas?"
--"We all chipped in."
"What did you tell those people on the bus?"
--"I told them I loved them."

This kid should go far in life! Great heartwarming story.
Tabasco,
Can you possibly post a link to that story? I really would love to read it and pass it on to others. That's a GREAT story
This is a story I wish the media would follow up with and not just give it a short mention by G.R. on FoxNews.
you are nuts. I have been hearing good news stories.
A journalist would not turn down a good human interest piece.
Thank you very much!
Are you being sarcastic?
Here's one from Alabama...I emailed to check on a friend (medical student who has been in the path of all of the storms from Ivan to Katrina)in Gulf Shores. They fared better this time than the others, his wife developed pre-eclampsia Monday and had to be induced. Baby, Mom, Dad and big sis and big bro are doing well. :o) PTL!
I saw that report. Sea of tranquility (and dignity and disciplin) is a good description. I would like to see at least Fox do more on this. Hiraldo should get over there and expand on his report. What a contrast.....
Thank you for that sweet story! God bless that young man.
From The Humane Society of The United States: For the animal lovers
Reports about the toll to wildlife sanctuaries in the flood region have been slow in coming. Six dolphins from a Gulfport aquarium, Marine Life Oceanarium, were first evacuated to hotel swimming pools and then later moved to facilities in Florida. A number of seal lions were also being evacuated to Florida on Wednesday. The HSUS is doing a great job of ensuring search & rescue efforts and the reuniting of pets back with their pet owners.

"What did you tell those people on the bus?"
Jabbar Gibson, "I told them I loved them."
He's a deciple of Christ, his lord and savior.
Now DO YOU BELEIVE?
Thanks. That looks like the one from Fox.
Poor kid. You can almost feel how nervous he must have been.
I'd take Jabbar Gibson over Sandra Bullock any day of the week. 8~)
Yes, by the grace of God.
