Speaking of CNN, why the heck is it that when CNN lists the phone numbers of relief agencies one can donate to, the news net NEVER lists the Salvation Army? I haven't seen their info up once. What in Hades is with that?

I've noticed that; it's never the Salvation Army.

10 major Navy vessels are at Gulf Coast or on their way.

The Salvation Army is ONLY taking monetary donations to get FOOD, WATER AND MEDICINE to Disaster Survivors. A good organization to send in your donations. They are well organized, efficient and not wasteful.

the news net NEVER lists the Salvation Army

Those of us in the Know on this list saw, discussed and affirmed during the 911 crisis that charitable funds were always wisely invested if provided to the Salvation Army.

It is the opinion of many that the ARC, among others exists for its own benefit and feeds off the emotions of others to obtain contributions, most of which do not go to the affected area.

This is not meant to bash the ARC, but to recognize that like other bureacracies that have become bloated and need to be continually feed, those that get their press releases out there first; the ones that are the most vocal, may actually not be doing the work they proclaim.
