Is this callous of me?
I'm sure we've all heard so much about the hurricanes that we're sick of it, but I have one last question regarding the way I've reacted.
As you all know, there seem to be thousands of organizations that are asking for our money to go toward rebuilding after the U.S. hurricanes, especially Katrina. Even here in Toronto, we're still frequently asked for money. Don't get me wrong, I like giving money to charity. When I have a reliable income, I intend on putting aside a small portion of it to donate to some choice charities.
But, I refuse to give any of my money to rebuilding after Katrina.
It seems to me that the U.S. government shouldn't be asking for money. They have so much as it is, and should really be able to deal with stuff like this on their own.
Is this an unfair view? I know many people are suffering, but... I can't help but think that the U.S. is powerful and rich enough to deal with it on their own.
