[meteorite-list] How to help Tsunami Victims

[David Freeman]

Yes, in case the other list members in other countries missed my post 
yesterday, the Red Cross takes money on line and at my local branch 
office.  Here, even in Rock Springs (no where) Wyoming, there are three 
banks taking donations, over two dozen sites that do not charge process 
fees that are being randomly displayed on CNN and other channels....

Lest we forget the few hundred million in cash George Bush has provided, 
and the approximately one million dollars a day to operate the carrier 
USS Abraham Lincoln, and other carriers, support ships that cost almost 
a million a day each...all paid for with U.S. tax dollars...all working 
in the relief efforts. Our national debt is what, 400 billion that we 
owe mostly to China, the owner of our notes?

Blood drive:  I gave at the office, did you?
