"It's not about being nice; its about survival"

[quidditchgrrl]

I gave a little bit of money to the Red Cross Thursday. I had planned to give a more substantial amount once I got paid today. But you know what? The government has done such a piss-poor job of security/rescue/recovery, I'm not going to give anything until I can contribute with tangible goods. That way I know that it's going to help people who need it. I might actually donate through the Salvation Army, since it seems they've been the only source of relief in some areas (even though their policy on gays is not mine).
