#6  The picture you get is that these people are just sitting around waiting for the UN to come to the rescue. Far fromn the truth! They are already recueing, recovering, burying, and rebuilding. The money will help but they are not helpless people.

#5  Thank you, Chuck. You've gathered an impressive amount of information on your blog. And what makes me proudest of belonging to such a generous culture is the number of individual, uncountable donations being made: boxes of old clothes, etc dropped off at Red Cross and VFW collection points, Scout troops mailing off to an address they found on the internet whatever they've gathered from going house to house, the troops who just arrived over there emtying their packs of whatever will help those they are there to aid.

Glereper, you can be a real ass. Don't give if you don't want to, but respect the choice of those who do.

#1  $225 million U.S. and climbing. All donated by those big corporations and stingy Americans. I'm counting, so you won't have to.
