I'm sure there is an obvious reason why forum members, newscasters, politicians, and aid relief workers and supporters are "inappropriate" for wanting to get help to a disaster site but I just can't see it.

Prayers for Haiti, and prayers for all those with the ability to get aid and assistance to Haiti A.S.A.P.
I can't speak for Daywalker but someone mentioned this to me recently. CNN posted an article about how Haiti was due for a major earthquake and they continue on about how the study was done and that no one should be surprised. Now this may be true but the real challenge to one is .. why is the news article relevant? Shouldn't the article be about what is needed there as far as support, how to get funds there, etc.? What is starting is the string of "pointing fingers" syndrome and I think Day wanted a thread that was about raising funds and awareness rather than discussing the political "so-and-so promised but didn't deliver" kind of discussions.
