Is anyone interested in good news. Americans can make a much more awesome impact when they come together than when they bicker and remain divided amongst themselves. Solutions and not accustions,,responsibility and not blame,,,,,the wave of the future,,,

Wouldn't it be nice if they took care of America first then taught the rest of the world to fish.
Just a thought.

The thought crossed my mind too, but still, helping others is never something I can look down my nose at,,its a good thing.

It's all good in theory. The 8 billion was in pledges not actual money. And it doesn't state over how many years these companies have to do whatever it is they pledged. Now if those pledges will be followed through on then bravo.

If we are in such dire straights, how about all those billions go to get Americans back to work, back in their homes and food on their tables.

Think America first.

You can usually depend on Americans when it comes to charity. They are a very giving group of people. We have a friend in the hospital who does not have health insurance. Charity is covering the cost. Several church groups have dontated to help and another friend is opening her home to him. I think you found some common ground. :)

Ah finally something worth posting to. I watch CNN Heroes the other day, don't watch Cnn too much so it caught my eye. It's nice to know there are lots of good people actually out there doing things instead of sitting around whining. There's lots of good things going on.

Some times hard times motivates people to think of things they might never have thought about, and gives them something possitive to focus on. Nice thought to end the day with, thanks. Night..
