Re: {FORGED?} Re: Tidal wave in Asia

Don't usually get into this, but as I see it, most of the countries hit over 
there other than Thailand and India are Muslim, most would rather see the US 
(great demon country) destroyed.  And money will not change their perception 
of us.  As I spent much time in most of them after 9/11 working as a Navy 
Force Protection Officer with a bounty on my head (including the 
Philippines) and seeing the Christen Persecution that is going on and our 
Great News Service not showing what is really happening through out the 
world, I don't care what they think or say about us.  I do think it is our 
Christen duty to try and help.

On the other hand after working with FEMA in Florida I have an added respect 
for the Red Cross, I now do give to our U. S. Red Cross, Joe I also used to 
avoid the Red Cross as I had a bad taste in my mouth from my Vietnam days 
when I first joined the Navy in 1968, retired 9/11/2003 between Presidential 
Stop Loss Orders after 9-11 as my first retirement date was September 30, 
2001 and I had already been released (Retirement Party and all)  from my 
almost last command on Terminal/Leave and was home in Texas when 9-11 
happen.

Sorry for this I will try in to keep my comments about AMC's..........

That was a backhanded compliment if ever I saw one.  Doc, most of us on the
list are still our there working for a living.  I'm not demeaning your
disability because I don't know much about your situation.  However, the
first rule of business is "stay in business" and that means companies have
to make a profit.

Where else are they gonna make the profit but in the places where people can
afford it.

Kudos to Nick's employer for giving to the effort.  I don't care what their
motivation is.   I almost never give to charity and I avoid the Red Cross
like the plague but I was motivated to call a charity and donate for this
cause.
