Relief
I'm getting a little ticked at people (other countries and the UN) turning the tsunami relief effort into a political thing. WHO CARES WHERE THE MONEY COMES FROM?!?! Get the money and aid to these people who despeately need it as fast as you can!! Apparently the UN is whining that the "Aid Coalition" led by the USA, Japan, Australia and India is undermining their efforts... SHUT UP!!
OH, and the USA is being stingy with our relief efforts too...
Here's a list of some stingy companies...
People, countries, news media, and everyone just needs to shut up and help each other. Go make a donation (2)(3), say a prayer, do something!!

I saw on CBS News with Dan Rather last night that donations for this tragedy are far beyond any other in the history of the world. An example they gave was the Catholic Relief Fund (CRF), who is taking dontaions through their website. CRF said that they typically get about $60,000 per month, throught their website, in donations. Currently they are averaging $100,000 per hour. That's right, they said per hour.
So at least some organizations are trying to do what they can. It is so sad to see the pictures of the lost over in Asia, and while I have not contributed in a financial way, I will continue to keep them in my prayers.
