Put up or shut up

This is an opinionated board.....and that is a great thing. Thanks Rich for letting us be us.



But the time for fingerpointing and blame is waaaay down the road. Right now there are alot of people hurtin.



I challenge everyone on this board to drop $50....or $25....or $100, whatever, on the Red Cross or other good charitable organization in the name of MYST.com let's get off our high horse and do something productive. We can make a difference.



I guarantee it feels alot better than watching the horror unfold on TV and armchair quarterback the situation.

p.s....anyone inclined to buy Kanye west's cd......take that $15 and put it where it will do "his people" more good than in his pocket. (*******)

I (and several other vol firefighters) stood at an intersection last night collecting donations for both the MDA (MDA event was already scheduled) and hurricane relief for several hours yesterday afternoon and evening.



I also plan on donating at a local bank which has set up a fund for my Grandmother's family (who lived in St Bernard Parish - just east of New Orleans) and will be distributed by family friends in New Orleans area.

They got $200 from my family which was matched by my employers. As for Kayne West I'd be tempted to buy one of his CD's (used of course) just for the pleasure of watching it melt in the Arid-zona sun!! :angry:

Buzzworth-

Is this what you are are referring to about Kanye West? Look at the expression on Mike Myers face at the end.

That's what I was referring to. I can just imagine his "business manager" and record label are pulling their hair out today doing damage control. In these days of record companies with the copy&download fever they are fighting, can you even believe that someone could be so stupid as to say what he did? Makes me want to get a copy of the cd and burn as many copies as possible and give them away.

Already done here too.

 

[Rose Medlin]

Donated to the Red Cross last night.

 

[Dale Carlson]

My brother-in-law's company is going to match 2-for-1 any donations, so we sent ours to them.

 

[ChrisP Riley]

I sent mine in on payday to the Ace&Tj show here which they really did a great job!!!! Check them out if you have never heard of them acetj.com! You'll be shocked at what they did. Later on, Riley

 

[Mark Gallaher]

My wife's company matches 2 to one. We are donating through her company ( Verizon)

we gathered up all the clothing we had ready for a charity drop and then dug around a little harder for even more. A little church close by has a large truck and bus parked in it's lot this weekend and they are collecting anything that they can take south to share with affiliated churches that were in harms way.



We're not a member of the church, but all of this has served as a reminder that we are a member of the human race and an American. Watching non-stop coverage can get very depressing. I decided that since I can't be there to help......I CAN do something.



Thanks for the stories. Results will our reward.
