BUT when you go on public TV and discredit OUR kids and OUR people to feel better about what you are doing for someone in another country, well, that's pretty lame. Had she come up and said "I donated all that money because I damn well wanted to", I, and so many others I think, would have been completely cool with that. But how DARE she put down OUR kids and OUR people because she wanted to put her money somewhere else. If she wants to put all of her money into a night at a casino on poker games, well FINE..... I don't care. It's when she felt this undying need to say that OUR kids don't deserve any help because they want a freaking ipod, that was a copout in my opinion.
And FYI? I don't have a 42" Plasma, I have a USED Big Screen TV, and I drive used cars and I live in a Doublewide Trailer..... and I live check to check like so many others. BUT we are happy, and we comfortable in our own world, and we LOVE our kids and have a heart for those less fortunate. I have a home, it isn't much, but it is mine...... and we give to charity EVERY year, even if it hurts...... every little bit helps. But we don't go to this place and say we are giving to you because those kids across town want an ipod for Christmas. PLEASE!!
And yes I know, even with what little I have, I have far more and am way more blessed than they are down there, BUT we don't go on National TV and announce this fact!!
