President Bush Sr is in Houston today.

He asked Mattress Mac to pass around the hat here in Houston. Mac says
he can raise 100 million here in Houston alone. Mac gave 250,000 out of
his own pocket.

Right on Joe........ now consider this... about 2 billion cash donated
globally to date. How much does that work out to per person considering the
effected population of the nations damaged?

I'm figuring at a 10:1 survival rate at 156 thousand dead......

Ya think the region was a bit overpopulated?
Ya think all those bucks are going to the persons in need?

Germany is pledging $680 million to tsunami relief. Their 2002 population
was 83 million, so that comes to over $8 per capita. That far surpasses what
the U.S. is donating: $350M through our government, $200M through private
donations, and, what, maybe $100M in military aid? $2 per person. We still
ought to be doing better.

Australia is giving $765 million in loans and grants. They're a country of
20M people.

WOW!!!!

Canada Stands at.....

Federal Government: The Canadian government has pledged, as of 02 January
2005, CAD 80 million (USD 67 million), an increase to the original figure of
CAD 4 million offered by the federal government, which had previously been
revised to 40 million, as an immediate contribution toward the aid effort
and will also be providing blankets, water purification devices, and
generators through the Canadian International Development Agency. The
Canadian federal government has also announced a debt moratorium for the
countries most severely impacted by the tsunamis. Also, Canada has announced
it will send its DART (Disaster Assistance Response Team) to Ampara in Sri
Lanka.
Provincial Governments: In addition to the federal funds, the provincial
government of British Columbia has given CAD 8 million (USD 6.6 million) to
the Canadian Red Cross, the provincial governments of Ontario and Alberta
have each pledged CAD 5 million (USD 4.1 million), the provincial
governments of Quebec, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador,
and Nova Scotia have each given CAD 100,000 (USD 82,000), and the provincial
governments of the Northwest Territories and Prince Edward Island have
pledged CAD 25,000 and 20,000 respectively. As of 03 January 2005, Canadian
governments have pledged CAD 98.5 million in aid; this translates to CAD
3.05 per capita. Voluntary Sector: Measuring the extent of individual and
corporate philanthropy is more difficult, although the government estimated
on 02 January 2005 that donations to tsunami victims had reached CAD 36
million, or a little more than one CAD per capita. The federal government
created incentives for private donations: it announced that it would match
donations dollar-for-dollar and decided to bend the rules by allowing
tsunami-related donations made before 11 January 2005 to be claimed on 2004
income-tax returns.

The country of Horvathania has pledged "a ****load."





Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

We don't have terrorism...... just terrorist cells.
I wouldn't support spending a dime on it..... it only makes them feel
important.
We totally ignore them and eventually they will get bored and go away.
