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!
Americans will give much more of themselves than any other nation
could dream of. Of course, the liberals can't stand that, so they'll
talk about China, Canada, probably Germany, Sweden, and any other
socialist country that does anything.

Did I tell you that Canadians contribute $250 a year to Charity.
The important thing to remember, is that is Canadian Dollars, not real
money.
Well Stinky, that's what is reported on income tax forms.
Most Canadians are modest and probably give anonymously rather than parading
around looking for a big pat on the back.
LOL, that is a good one, you are so cute. It is obvious you don't
contribute anything to charity.
