Prayers

Bourbon Street web cam, 8:30 a.m. this morning.

To New Orleans and the Gulf Coast: this humanists' prayers are going out to you in the face of Gustav and maybe Hanna, too. Best wishes for everyone's safety.

Public Response

    "...a wonderful, inspiring site."

    "Get a life and quit trying to make one out of this tragedy!!"

    "God bless you for caring enough to create this site!"

    "As a victim of Hurricane Katrina...my pains have not been soothed upon reading bad poetry. But perhaps others might feel differently."

    "Poetry [that] takes me past the pictures the media shows, to what it WAS LIKE to experience the storm and what happened afterward."

    "What a very unique idea. This ties us together as human beings: those who survived and those who watched from afar..."

    "...an admirable mission...letting something beautiful come from all this horribleness."
