<b>I believe that one must be beholden to one's neighbor without the reward of heaven...or the fear of hellfire."</b> Hezekiah Jones

I just want to point out that millions of our fellowpersons are now suffering the greatest privation and heartache due to the latest demonstration of nature's complete indifference to our species. And while nature <i>can</i> afford to be indifferent surely we cannot.

It would behoove all of us to reach into our generally overburdened pockets and make a cash donation to one of the NGO's struggling to deal with this catastrophe. Money is desperately needed to procure and transport needed supplies of food, clothing and medicine to the affected countries.

Among the organizations needing help are; Save the Children, Oxfam, Doctors Without Borders, the Red Cross and Red Crescent. You may know of others equally deserving of assistance. If you have already made a contribution you've done a good deed. If you have not, shame on you.

One last note. I don't feel it is necessary to respond to this post. If you agree with it act accordingly. If you do not, don't tell me about it because I couldn't care less.

Your Fellow Human Being
Jack Lass
