At least some people care

Well we had a great "natural" tragedy in Haiti and many many people were killed. It is a poor country and many people there live modest lives. IT is poor mostly because there is not that much there for the rich people and big corporations to take advantage of. In other words there may be little resources there to exploit.

Anyway there was some great uproar when Pat Robertson(an incredible idiot with money and power and an audience) said that this "natural" tragedy happened because the people made a pact with the devil some time long ago. You make me sick jerk. Why don't you just shut up and open your pockets to help them.

The first thing I noticed was that some corporations with the most money gave the least to help. In particular I saw a report of a bank with billions in profits was going to give $100,000.00. Oh how thoughtful of you. And I don't see where any of the energy companies who also reap billions in profit are offering to give anything.

I did however see reports that some of the stars in hollywood are giving a bigger chunk of money. Sandra Bullock, Brand and Angelina, to name a few are giving a million dollars each. My hat goes off to them for acting like decent human beings that actually care about others and about trying to make the world a little better place.

I myself am having trouble getting by right now but when I have money I always try to give something to charities I believe in. And I do this because it is the right thing to do and because if I were in trouble I would hope that someone would care and help me. And there are people in the world that really need help and we cannot not help them just because there are others who take advantage of that assistance. And finally because it is the right and humane thing to do in a society that professes to hold of some religious or god fearing beliefs

And finally back to the Pat Roberson comments. He states that because of this pact with the devil that is why Haiti is poor and the Dominican republic next to it is thriving. I say put a lid on it idiot. The reason one is thriving and the other is not is because one has more resources for jerks like you to exploit and steal and profit from and the other, people like you and these big corrupt money making machine corporations care little about investing in Haiti and their people.

So cudos to those who put there money where their mouth and heart is and for those who do not see the profit potential in it shame on you.... and to Pat Robertson and people like him I repeat an old adage "if you cannot say something nice then don't say anything at all". These people are experiencing a great and serious devastation and for you to say such a thing only shows your true colors and your true beliefs of seclusion ism and racism and a general lack of humanity.
