Bush, Kerry--a caring person craves not these things.

Quote: r3x29yz4a said: I never get this idea that people should see a tragedy thousands of miles away and decide they have to help out there when their own city has problems.
sorry, but my money is going to help people in San Francisco. As your money should go towards New York.
i disagree, but... i dont fault that thinking. and as long as you're helping something, its all good.
Quote: r3x29yz4a said: You (Rob) had how many murders/tragic deaths in your city last year? How many of those did you personally donate money to the families for?
directly? none -- or very few. same as with katrina.
indirectly? i donate to charities and pay local taxes. im clearly (non-xbox) halo-less, but...
i do agree with the concept of the major benefits of directly helping in situations, but ... like i said above, "as long as you're helping"
