I think my preacher said it best at church yesterday morning: "If God poured out his wrath on every country that deserved it, there'd be none left."

Those poor people. I'm gonna talk to my principal tomorrow, see if we can't take up a collection to help further the things down there.

That was a great quote from your preacher. In our church they prayed for the Haiti folks. Prayers and vibes just sent their way...

Well, the school's taking up a collection to send down there, and me and some friends of mine are trying to organize some kinda benefit show with local bands, and one of my teachers was asking me to play my banjo to help get donations. Please folks, even if you can only give a dollar, every little bit helps.

Had an idea that would have some kind of impact.

Everyone in the US that gets some kind of wage whether it be from a job or unemployment compensation or allowance skip one meal and send the cost of the meal to the Red Cross for Haiti.

Figuring a meal to be $3 and half the population fitting the criteria that would be $450,000,000. (150,000,000 X $3= $450,000,000)

SKIP A MEAL FOR HAITI!!!!

I think your dollars get used a little more responsibly if you donate to Doctors Without Borders....

Excellent thought Sue, I had forgotten about that organization. A friend of mine's brother is with that group. They accomplish a lot of good.
