<<By the way skipper, have you made your donation to the tsunami relief effort yet?>> I have...only 100 bucks to the red cross but if everyone did that the countries would have tons of cash. I heard the US Citizen donations are 37 million so far as of lat night. Thats pretty good if you ask me and there plenty more to come. I would point out though that many wont make a donation and thats their choice. I don't think anyone should seek a pat on the back for doing whats in their heart, do you?

I was saying that we need to get big money out of government. I'm all in favor of this. How about we fund just the US military and nothing else? That'll cut the fed bufget by about 70%. Of course, you and your buddies will lose your welfare, but, hey, everything has side effects. By supporting the democrats you go further in doing that than the republicans who get the majority of the big money donations. After Clinton, Gore, Buddhist emples, Johnniwe Chung, you have the audacity to say this? Democrats supported Dean and Kerry in a big way through personal donations on line. Better luck next time, sucker. By the way skipper, have you made your donation to the tsunami relief effort yet? Yeah. But since you raised this subject.... would you show me the clause in the Constitution that authorizes the Prexy or Congress to spend one nickel of my tax dollars in disaster aid for Indonesia?
