"Men give me some credit for genius. All the genius I have lies in this: When I have a subject in hand, I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. I explore it in all its bearings. My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effort which I make, the people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought." - Alexander Hamilton

Haiti Donations

While my wife was doing her really great face cream I was watching the news.

I love Americas, we are a kind an generous people. I would love to see the top 10 countries that give money and supplies on a per capita basis. I will promise you America is the greatest giving country in the world.

Yes BO comes on the TV and tells people to donate through the government.

My problem is that the government is not a charitable institution. Unless you count on forcing donations through loss of freedom as way of giving. Plus who knows how much money will be taken out for various fees.

Most welfare takes about 66 cents out of every dollar given in direct aid. The government is a highly inefficient method of distributing money.

So if you are going to give please give directly to the Red Cross or other group.
