Red Cross or nothing at all.

However, that was mighty fine of you, no matter who got the credit.

well now that's a separate issue, isn't it?

Why are you changing the subject?

Yes...but I didn't change the topic, you did. I just followed through. His donations, regardless of how small or large, should do nothing to protect him from his own words.
 
Haitian Earthquake the will of Gawd!

Personally I couldn't less than I already don't
about a buncha throw back savages livin' in squalor
whose shanties fell down round their nappy heads
when a lil tiny quake occurred.
 
It was mighty heartening to see my son overturn his piggy bank this morning, grab all the large coins that he saw and take them to school for the Red Cross donations coming from there.

The number of questions coming from him are impressive..and I'm trying hard to keep up, but frankly..some things just have no answers.

He's sending millions in aid.
It sitting on the runway now in the DR.

He was referring to the gov. I guess, mostly.
I saw nothing of hate in what he said, but to wish someone dead for just speaking their opinion...

There are underhanded ways of expressing hate. What he said was an insult and a libel presented as concern for these poor Haitians who made a deal with the devil. It wasn't expressed as an opinion, he said "true story" to try to give his lie some validity. It was sickening to hear him say the words. He is a hypocrite if he calls himself a Christian.

It's good to see that your kid has empathy for others.

We sent $100 to the Red Cross. We'll probably send more later (next paycheck).

I listened to NPR yesterday on the way home. There was a reporter describing a scene with a little girl bandaged up, her lips quivering from pain. She was alone, and probably frightened and hungry. My eyes swelled up with tears. This is such a horrible thing to happen to so many all at once.
 
I knew if I came here, I'd get a laugh. You folk never disappoint. Still in the KK Spike? Val, would you still feel the same to know that that child is probably no worse off today that she was this time last week? In fact, comically enough, for the most poor in that country, very little has changed. It probably took them about 20 minutes to put the corrugated tin back up. It's the 'well off' who are suffering the most now. They're the ones who had masonry houses to fall on them. The poor didn't have electricity to lose, nor running water. And those formerly well off are now the ones breaking into the relief food warehouses and looting the food that had already been stockpiled there for the next emergency. Yeah, the UN already had relief supplies there in advance of the next hurricane, and the people you're empathizing with couldn't wait for it to be doled out fairly. These aren't the people that were eating mud just to fill their bellies either. They're still better off than that.

So ask yourself, just who are you empathizing with? A person, or a reporter's concoction?
