It is important, with winter approaching, that the plight of those needing blankets and tents in the earthquake zone is not forgotten,

Winter is fast approaching and it is getting really, really cold out there.

We may be six months on from the earthquake and through a mercifully mild winter, but there is still the monsoon to come and the next winter is only seven months away.

We are extremely worried that before the winter sets in that shelters must be provided with adequate numbers of blankets even if it is two per head, three per head.

The day humanity decides not to ignore the plight of fellow man, that day humanity will free itself from ignorance.

I'm personally sympathetic to the plight of these Indians. But should California rate-payers be paying for the investments and job training they want? You could argue either side.
