Katrina Relief

With over 100 dead, 80% of New Orleans underwater, 2.7 million people without power, and tens of thousands homeless along the Gulf Coast, it really is great to see businesses helping out when it's due.

Walmart donated $1 million to the Salvation Army stores in the area. Lowe's is matching consumer donations up to $1 million. GM is putting bills on hold for those effected by the 'cane.

There is one company that is troubling my thoughts. What may have meant to be a good deed seems like a free shot to get their name in the good Samaritan news. T-Mobile is offering free Wi-Fi at all hotspots in Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi. With 2.7 million people without power, I fail to see the great good it will do in the areas most effected. Perhaps a more appropriate way to be a good Samaritan would be to donate hard cash to the Red Cross.
