Passion and Good Intentions are Not Enough

Great article from MSNBC the other day regarding the hazards of unsolicited help, and the burden it can put on a response. Every unnecessary person, politicians included, takes away resources needed from victims who so desperately need them. I know first-hand how resources get diverted for some unplanned arrival of volunteers, politicians or military officials that have neither the self supporting resources for their purpose, or have no good reason being their other than morbid curiosity and the chance to say they were there. This includes security, transportation, health care, billeting, etc. Enough of my rant, here's the article.
