I've been kinda forced to watch the telethons the last couples of days for Haiti since no less than 32 channels carried it and I do feel for them but I started asking myself when in the hell are we going to start helping Americans? I mean we are in a baaad recession, have lord knows how many homeless, kids on the streets, etc. This country could make do with all the stupidity in D.C. if we had telethons and donations for alllll the probelms we have here. You have VETs who go different countries and fight for us, despite many arm-chair quarterbacks (who never leave their couch) who say we shouldnt be in the middle east. Many come back injured beyond comprehension and are treated like shit. We have had hoemless since the beginning, people out of work by the millions and yet help another country. The heart is in the right place for sure but DAMN if we dont need to take of our own first!
