    About the 10.000 dead in the Philipines perhaps? Been following the news lately? It's probably much worse they just started counting.

    I was aware of that, and have already said Hail Marys for them. I was referring to the numbers post you had made.

    Australia donated $400k of emergency supplies. Which seems small. It is apparently only the immediate portion of the $10M of the first set with commitment to add aid where required.

    So often the first response by a country is what they have on tap to give right away. With the assessments still incoming and another storm too, I believe that the help will increase.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    Unless you're capable of donating a working airport, I fail to see what giving more money RIGHT NOW!!!!1111 will accomplish.

    No use donating a ton of clean water if none of it can be shipped to those in need, eh?

    Ships are handy in shipping exercises.
