I can believe that about you. That's OK - I just donated twice as much to the Japanese relief fund at the Red Cross because I knew you would not. Somehow.....I think you will prance to the front of the line on Judgement Day - and somehow....I think you are not going to be happy with your review.

Everyone needs to send a prayer to the 50+ nuclear plant workers that are working on, bravely trying to stop a melt-down - and knowing they have been given a death sentence for doing so. My prayers go out to them and their families.

Then what are you donating?
All the reputable charities have stated that cash is the best way to go because of the extreme cost of shipping.
Do you happen to have a spare carrier class ship lying about?

I'm donating tax money against my will. I gave at the office, via withholding.

I trust private charities more than the government, so that would not be enough for me.

I'm sure the Japanese will be grateful for your $20 withholding donation.

Since I'm on my 2nd to last unemployment check, I skipped a couple of meals, and won't be driving anywhere to save my gas money....and from those savings, I donated it to the Red Cross. It won't save the world, but I'm sure they could use the money a lot more than me.
