Over 8 million dollars so far donated to Haiti just from text
messages!
The good thing is it's better than pledges as once you make the
donation, it comes directly out of your phone bill and you really
can't
"not bother to pay up". Anyway, my point is, 8 million just from the
phone text system from Americans, not even counting the hundreds of
Charities folks are pouring money into. In contrast, India and China
have "pledged" a lousy 1 million dollars each.

Why do we do it, because nobody else will.. God Bless America!
Perhaps, but the Chinese were the first there with a major airlift
effort.

The Canadian forces were in early too.
First a Challanger jet flew down with an advance party to scout the
need. Then a Hercules cargo plane followed by one of our new C-17s
loaded with supplies and military personnel. They came back with
full loads of Canadian citizens wanting to get off the island.
Two warships left here yesterday loaded with supplies and 500
sailors to do light engineering but it's a 5 day sail from here.
NO ONE CARES.


The Haitians who receive help sure do, ****head.


You dumb ****, the Haitians are not reading rec.boats. You have got to
be the dumbest of the dumb.


By the way, i am willing to bet i contributed more to Haiti Charities
than you did. Why did i do this? Because i am Harry Krause, and i
am great.
