A 6.5-magnitude aftershock hit JAKARTA, Indonesia (Jan. 1) Many of us probably take it for granted that we are safe & have not been subjected to such a disater, but we must not forget that there are so many people suffering daily from this Disaster... the Death Toll is Nearing 150,000. Our prayers go out to all those are suffering & who have lost their loved ones in this tragic disater. There are many who may want to assist or make donations, so I have listed several sources under the catagory DISASTER, this is a good list to start from: www.geeigotit.com/ |

Hello Harry and Joe.
Yes these disasters are terrible. I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers. The toll keeps rising, I only hope that the relief can help to ease this crisis soon.

Maybe we should all get together,
run a BIG competition/show ASAP,
get some BIG sponsors to donate BIG money,
and donate all the proceeds to help out all the victims...
that will draw some positive attention to this sport...
what do you think... Mr. Devoto, Mrs. Wattles, Mr. Collins...

There was a government link that was made available during the Presidents speech for making contributions to this relief fund, does anyone have it?
I would really like to see one of the ultra rich like Gates drop $1 Billion toward the effort………..I have read what he is worth but I guess I am assuming that he has Billions in liquid cash somewhere, I would not expect him to sell viable assets to make such a donation, but I would like to see him formally react with something.

I had heard the same thing Harry but I think this is a special situation and worthy of a magnanimous gesture.

(nuclear testing in the waters)... that's a serious accusation...

(nuclear testing in the waters)... that's a serious accusation... At one time, some 5 or so years ago, his net worth was a cool 50+ billion. That does not surprise me in the least; we (USA) get blamed for everything.  |

50 BILLION IS SICK!
Yea I haven't hear any more news on blaming USA for testing nuclear weapons out in the sea... probably the media was told to shut up... who knows, we are living in a strange world... I bet you will hear a different view on European news...

Remember, OBVIOUSLY that 50 billion, which at one time was closer to 80, is NOT liquid!
