It's unfortunate that you can't see past the dollar figure. They didn't have to donate anything.

What you should be asking is who is paying for all the gas that is being used up by choppers flying round the clock rescue missions for folks who refused to leave their homes?

Who is paying all the debts of those folks who are now homeless and job less? Do you think the mortgage companies and car companies are going to forgive those payments due today?

How would you like to be out of work, no place to live, no car to get away, no food, no water and then to know that you still have a payment on the house that is destroyed and a payment on the car that is swept away and no end in site.

Get some perspective. The fact that Wal-Mart is stepping up should give you cheer...you won't see any gas companies donating anything, no mortgage companies forgiving debts.

I just hope that the next time the weather forecasters tell people to GET OUT...that they head the warning.
