We are all now well aware of what has happened in Haiti. The devestation, loss of life, and injuries are unbelievable. Many people around the world have banded together to help this poor counrty try to rebuild.

I am proud of everyone who has done something to help, whether it be a donation of $1 or $100,000. You people are the true heroes of the world, and I wish nothing but good upon you.

However when I see this kind of stuff going on, I can't help but think, where is this kind of thing when there is no disaster? Why does is it take a catostrophy to get this kind of response? Sure, people donate to the Red Cross, Goodwill, etc., but it is nothing like when this happens. I understand charities need more when this stuff happens. But how come this many people don't volunteer their time to help people in their own communities? Not very  many people will go out and donate money to a family who can barely make it. Not many people will start/join neighborhood watch groups in cities where you can't go outside and not worry about getting robbed at fucking gunpoint.

Thanks again to all who have done what they can to help the victims in Haiti, but don't stop once this horrific nightmare is over.
