#1 "The whole point is not to please member states, or people in positions of power. The whole point is to help the voiceless or the dispossessed."

Like the people of Darfur, or Christians of Dar el Islam? How about Jews dispossed from MME? Russians driven from the Mulsim republics of the former Soviat Union? Tibetans?

#8 Is there a way to request my tsunami money back. I truly feel for the people of Indonesia, but when you've got smart-@ss former reporters running the show, I don't agree to give them money on merit alone.
