Re: Japan Tsunami Appeal

I'm not having a go at your idea, which seems very honourable, but
just a general question...

Why do the Japanese need money? Don't they have loads of it? And a
fairly well-integrated government and society? I can understand quake
victims in South America needing help, but not Japan.

I've seen these requests all over the place. Can't the Japanese
government pay the Red Cross for their services? They're the second or
third richest country on the planet!

They're also not quite the sort of fuckers who'd leave people to die
and be homeless after a disaster because they're poor, unlike the
United States of certain other countries.

"There's nothing like eating hay when you're faint," the White King remarked to Alice, as he munched away. 
"I should think throwing cold water over you would be better," Alice suggested: "--or some sal-volatile." 
"I didn't say there was nothing better," the King replied. "I said there was nothing like it."
Which Alice did not venture to deny.
