I guess it is my turn to vent a little! I am soooo sick of all the concerts and everything else that has been going on since September 11th to raise money. Please don't get me wrong, I was for it originally but it has gotten out of hand!

To date they have raised over 1 Billion dollars! There are stories of the Red Cross using some of this money to upgrade their facilities and communications. They can't account for some of it. Directors have been fired and accountability is getting harder to track.

Meanwhile some other worthwhile causes are getting forgotten. Pepper brought to our attention the Little Shelter animal adoption center in N.Y that may have to close their doors for the first time in it's 76 year history! There are others hurting badly too! Should they be forgotten just because their story isn't as "worthwhile"?

Now you can even go into stores like Home Depot or Lowes (many others too) and have your donation made there. When have you ever been able to donate at a store for any other cause?

I'm not sure if these feelings are justified or not. Please give me your opinions! I don't want the families of victims from September 11th to be slighted but I don't was other worth while causes to get forgotten either!
