Gao; That's a tough question, I asked myself that a lot but I think that the wish to help in itself is very worthy. How a person does that has to be up to them. I can tell you my priorities for what they are worth , but I can't say they should be yours. I sent a small donation to the Memorial Fund, The Mt. Carmel Survivors Memorial Fund, Inc. P.O. Box 120 Axtell, Texas 76624 ----------------------------- In my mind a memorial fund to preserve memories of them will in time work to help make their deaths not in vain. So my aim is that all the suffering not be in vain. Sometimes I have to adjust the course I take as circumstances change or my perception of how to do taht better improves but even then the aim is the same. I don't want their suffering and deaths to be in vain. I have written several of the surviving relatives short notes of condolences. I continue to look for ways to keep the memory of them alive, with hope that some changes in attitude and encourage the government to make changes and add checks to police power in such a way taht we won't have to see this type of brute force used ; on basicly peaceful people ever again. At this time I feel the government needs to undo some of the damage they have done, and improve it's image to the world not by covering up the mess, but by showing the world that it's big enough to hold it's own agents accountable when they abuse their power. I have no doubt that gross abuses of power took place in this and I will continue to do what I can to get them to admit it , and to exact on those responsible for the abuses of power a fair and just punishment. -------------- I hate to say it but so far all I've seen Reno do is let the guilty get rewarded in a way that extends police powers a license to commit murder. Well considering the "way" these people were killed & the drawn out suffering those kids had to endure; murder is soft word. Jim Warning the following is Graphic and not nice. mnsinc.com PS , I think I need to add that my conscious also had me send money to the salvation army for the Oklahoma Bombing victims , I don't normally talk about donations I make but in this case I don't want anyone to get the idea my only concern in this matter is about the Davidians.
