1. Now you see why privatizing government
is just not going to work. Sometimes, things have to get done, even if it means someone isn't going to make a profit.

4. Same here,
I just thought of donating as I was driving home. I realized there was no effort to raise funds as in the past. I don't think it's donor fatigue, it's donor do not have money. But I'll find some to help the folks in Pakistan. Just don't have enough left to give as much as I did to Tsunami and Hurricane.
