Something to Think About

I had someone on friends list on Facebook post this as their status the other day:

"Shame on you America!! The only country where we have homeless without shelter, children going to bed without eating, elderly going without needed meds, and mentally ill without treatment - yet we have a benefit for the people of Haiti on 12 TV stations."

I totally agree with that statement. When Hurricane Katrina happened did we have that type of benefits? All that money that people donated to Haiti could have helped those in our own country.

Now don't get me wrong what happened in Haiti is devastating and I totally feel for the destruction that happened in that country. I'm not heartless. I just feel that the 10 million dollars Obama donated could have helped all those people out of work in our own country.

And who cares that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie donated a million dollars. They make 10 times that per movie. They could have donated more money. They have it to spare. To me that was kinda a slap in the face. Here the American people pay you all that money, and it is us that pay your salary, and you think a million dollars is enough??? how about helping out here instead of going to foreign countries and adopting kids. What about orphans in America?? Don't they deserve that?? Or is it because it won't give you enough publicity?

Ok now to get back on track. We should be doing more for our own country that is in a crisis also. But it seems like Americans do not care about Americans. It's not politically correct.
