Assistance

I finally donated to Habitat for Humanity's Katrina rebuilding fund. I think they'll actually put the money where they say they will, and there's going to be a lot of people without housing.

I just can't stomach the American Red Cross. They lied and killed people during the early AIDS years, they drive up the price of blood by selling it to brokers, they take money for causes and spend it how they wish, and they charged my grandfather for coffee during the First World War. BLEAH.

Thanks to rroseselavyoui for the list of donation possibilities. I actually went direct to habitat.org because I figured that site probably shaved a bit off the top.

Most of the other general relief options were religious, so I went for the least common denominator.

I'm not about to donate to the Salvation Army, but I'd rather have Jimmy Carter's people building houses than the American Red Cross buying themselves some new office furniture.
