I agree. Gher Send a noteboard - 10/06/2010 04:37:25 AM
I'm not sure that the government has currently spent more on Haiti than on this spill, but it certainly shouldn't be putting Haitians above US citizens. A nation exists to protect its citizens.


Obviously private citizens can make whatever donation they want, but the government should prioritize.
