It shouldn't surprise me but it still does... the negativity that persists in people even in the most dire of times. Reading different blogs and their comments all over the net of how people are angry that the Red Cross and other organizations are lending a hand here in America to Haiti. Their claims that we have hungry and indigent people living right here in our own country & that their focus should be here in America. Further going on to ask people to boycott such organizations. Like I said it shouldn't surprise me, but it does... truth be told it disgusts me. The fact that one human can be aware of such utter tragedy and devastation yet harbor such insensitivity is profoundly troubling to me. Not even to mention the charges that the Red Cross doesn't do due diligence here at home is incorrect, just to have such feelings is a concept I cannot begin to fathom. Whenever such tragedies occur I always wish I had more to give and help out. I my self sent my $10 text and purchased associated music on iTunes to the cause. Imagine the difference it can make if everyone that can afford it made such seemingly small contributions...
It's also good to see the 'Stars' come out and support. The concert/telethon spearheaded by George Clooney televised on nearly every major broadcast network was at times difficult to watch but essential. Jennifer Hudson, Christina Aguilera, Bruce Springsteen & Mary J. Blige were some of the best... most inspiring moments for me.
