The scale seems biblical; over 100,000 people dead in a single morning. Here is where Christian values can really shine though. The entire Christian world sounds like it is responding. Of course, I'm partial to the CRS (see link above), but there are many worthy charities that are sending help.

It is, of course, unfortunate that President Bush didn't come out sooner and use his bully pulpit to recommend that Americans respond. Not that America the country should send loads of money; it seems ridiculous that the government should force people to be charitable. Now the Navy is sending some ships with water purifiers. That makes sense (where else are you going to get them?). But money should come from the citizens, of their own free will.

Good on ya Greg!

I stumbled on this one quite by accident. It looks suspiciously like someone preying (not praying) on those people who are searching for something more.
