No, he didn't. So what? To each his own. Why does it bother you so much that I cajole people into giving to a good cause?
Seriously, I don't know whether you have given money to the Red Cross or some other suitable charity or not. I'm not calling on you to publicly state that you have. I will assume you have.
Your sensitivity to this issue is quite extraordinary, however.
A couple of days ago you were just as vehement against my suggestion that accepting aid offered by other countries might be a good thing. Do you just have a thing against NO? Do you think they brought this upon themselves?
My vision of you is rapidly becoming one of some macho Kirk Douglas / Charlton Heston type yelling "Don't help him up. He's got to get up on his own."
NO doesn't need no stinkin' boats. Or helecopters. Or generators. Or pumps. Or fresh water. Or help from volunteers. Everything's under control. If they can't pull themselves up by there bootstraps, it just wasn't meant to be. Check. Got it. Let the place burn.
