	<htmltext>It seems that a recent digital fundraising drive for Haiti relief has stunned organizers at the Red Cross and White House.  As of the last tally on Friday the campaign was at <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/01/15/online.donations.haiti/index.html">well over $8 million</a>. <i>"Earlier Thursday, when the Red Cross topped $3 million in text and social media donations &mdash; it hit nearly $40 million from all sources by late Thursday &mdash; spokesman Jonathan Aiken described it as 'a phenomenal number that's never been achieved before. People text up to three times at 10 bucks a pop,' Aiken said. 'You're talking about roughly 300,000 people actually spontaneously deciding, "I can spare $10 for this." And that's remarkable.' As of late Thursday, more than half of all donations to the Red Cross's Haiti relief effort had been received online, according to a news release.</i></htmltext>

	<htmltext>I beg to differ with part of your claim.  All parts of the US are not equally prepared for an earthquake.  A large earthquake on the New Madrid fault anywhere near St. Louis or Memphis will likely result in mass casualties, in spite of efforts in recent years to improve building standards.  Those old, historic and largely brick downtown sections will be most vulnerable.  And let's face it, it's not the number of casualties that trigger the charitable response anyway, although that's a contributing factor.  It's the ongoing suffering of the survivors.  Not that ongoing suffering did much for the hearts of many Americans in light of hurricane Katrina.

Farmers either lost their businesses or were forced into what amounted to virtual slavery for corporations who conveniently had money to lend them in their hour of need as long as they grew the crops (which were largely inedible) that the corporations wanted. Now you say "It all worked out great the farmers now have jobs, everything worked out for all parties!"
<br> <br>
WRONG, the corporations paid the farmers pathetic prices for their crops because they were desperate and with agriculture being the only means of earning a living everyone in the country turned to farming, they tore down every tree in site in order to use every bit of land so they could earn enough just to survive.  The worst part about this happened much later, with large areas of land in Haiti virtually treeless due to over-farming, Haiti got pounded by hurricanes three years in a row.  With no trees to hold the ground into place when there was flooding large areas of land simply washed away killing thousands.

) Restrict foreign corporations and states from meddling in the country 's politics</tokentext>
<sentencetext>I will get modded to hell for this but as someone who is of Haitian decent and has family there right now the true cause of the corruption is bribery from states, corporations and even the IMF.
The rice riots are a perfect example  [counterpunch.org]  When the IMF loaned much needed money to Haiti it came with requirements that they open the country to "Free Trade" (Many Haitian politicians got their palms greased in this deal then left the country) when that happened American corporations flooded the market with cheap food which sounds great at first but when you consider the fact that the majority of the population made its living as farmers it doesn't sound so great.
Farmers either lost their businesses or were forced into what amounted to virtual slavery for corporations who conveniently had money to lend them in their hour of need as long as they grew the crops (which were largely inedible) that the corporations wanted.
Now you say "It all worked out great the farmers now have jobs, everything worked out for all parties!
"
 
WRONG, the corporations paid the farmers pathetic prices for their crops because they were desperate and with agriculture being the only means of earning a living everyone in the country turned to farming, they tore down every tree in site in order to use every bit of land so they could earn enough just to survive.
The worst part about this happened much later, with large areas of land in Haiti virtually treeless due to over-farming, Haiti got pounded by hurricanes three years in a row.
With no trees to hold the ground into place when there was flooding large areas of land simply washed away killing thousands.
If the world really wants to help Haiti we need to do three things....
1.) Forgive much of Haiti's debt 
2.
) Lift all of the ridiculous restrictions that came with the debt
3.
) Restrict foreign corporations and states from meddling in the country's politics</sentencetext>

	<htmltext>I agree. Poverty is a due to a mindset of not respecting property. You get out of poverty by working to create things of value (wealth) and having a mentality where you don't steal or destroy wealth. But I have no idea how you can teach that to people.

I have the same problem with the invasion of Iraq or Afghanistan. We are smart enough in this country not to let our military run the country and to make our government as weak as possible. But then we want to install a powerful government in these other countries to keep the people under control.

I agree with the isolationists. The best thing we can do is mind our own business and lead by example. If people are impressed with us they might try to copy our ways.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>That may or may not be an especially good idea.<br> <br>

There are definitely "charities" that, even if not total scams, spend far too much on paying their CEOs and executive directors and so forth, and sending them on important fact finding missions to poor(but pleasantly sunny) places. You definitely want to avoid those.<br> <br>

However, the point of a charity is not to assemble the greatest concentration of self-sacrificing moral goodness available; but to turn donations(in dollars or in kind) into results that match the stated goal of the charity. The measure of a charity's efficiency, and thus its worth as a possible donation recipient, is determined by how efficiently it does so. There are most likely some cases where volunteers are, in fact, the most efficient means. There are others where expensive experts are, in all likelihood, the most efficient.<br> <br>

You donate to a charity because you want your money to effect its goals, whether the goals are pulling people out of the rubble, vaccinating children, reducing unplanned pregnancies, filing FOIA requests, or whatever. Why judge them on how they distribute their resources, rather than on how efficiently they achieve their results?</htmltext>
