Well, actually most of them probably do. These are not mutually exclusive activities, you see, much as you would like to portray the situation in black and white. And some of them probably do other things as well, like donating money and seeing if there are volunteer opportunities in their areas that might contribute to the relief effort. > What they do is log onto the Internet and lash > out at anyone they possibly can. Actually what some of them do is attempt to alert people who don't yet know what's going on. And amazingly enough, they may get attacked for doing so by people who just don't want to have to disturb their beautiful minds by contemplating the misery of others. ------------------------ Yahoo!
