Serious Donations

Considering Donating some of your hard earned dollars?

1) Help for Haiti. Check!

2) iTunes - can't tell if they are giving away or selling tunes from tonight's Hope for Haiti show, but if they are selling, how much of that is going to: 1) television stations, 2) Apple, and more importantly, 3) Haiti.

3) The US National Debt?
The 2008 population census put the US at approximately 300 million. What if everyone gave 10 bucks a month toward the deficit? That would be $3 billion. Enough to cover the estimated US deficit growth for one day.

If we can help Haiti, can't we help ourselves?

I'm kind of with the South carolina politician and the former NBA player/now former ESPN blogger in advocating reproductive control among populations who cannot afford to be breeding like rabbits. ;-) Airdrops of condoms might do as much good as monetary donations at this point!

My question is: "What's the reason for population growth?" A high death rate often leads to a high reproductive rate, but then again, a high death rate could be the result of a population that does not have the resources to support itself.

I think the world needs to start supporting a little population restraint.

Totally agreed.
