Reply #10: I'd love to see the numbers on $$ donated to tsunami victims.

[Divernan]

The dems I know have donated generously for tsunami victims to Save the Children and the Red Cross. I sent out a blanket request to about 50 people on my email list, which includes about 10 neocons/conservatives. I pointed out that a contribution to help these victims would get their new year off to a "compassionate" start. Some of the dems replied with info about who they had already or were in the process of donating to. No response from the Republicans. One young environmentalist I am proud to call my son had already donated
$1,000 and that is about 3% of his annual income. In my age group, most of the guys I know are conservatives and very loud in their support of Bush - and not a single one of them contributes either his time or his money - except to their churches. And they seem to raise their kids to consider greed as one of the seven virtues. Racism is another "virtue" to this gang.
