I totally hear everything you are saying, really I do. That said, our generous check is in the mail today. I really wish American would get the recogniation that it deserves, we are always the first ones on the scene, yet we are the most hated. I have to say, i won't be traveling abroad any time soon or probably ever. Why on Earth should I give money to countries that dislike us so much? We've got great vacation places here in the good ol US of A.
I have decided that I will not give anything. My country is giving enough, through my taxpaying dollars.
