Sadly, the Southern Decadence events are obviously cancelled due to the weather.

US places 12th in aiding world's poor, report says

The report says Denmark is #1 with 89 cents per person each day in government aid, compare to the United States spent 15 cents per person each day in government aid to poor nations.

What the report doesn't say is that the United States is not a socialist government, and that while Denmark citizens spent 1 cent per person each day in private giving, US citizens gave (freely and without compulsion) 15 TIMES THAT NUMBER!

The unmitigated gall someone has for trying to GUILT we Americans into giving up our freedom in exchange for a system of government that would do our charitable giving through a tax and spend ideology (that we all know is the least efficient way to get things done). Keoto accord? Same idea. Screw them. We shot our wad on Tsunami relief and will probably suffer in New Orleans for it.

And do you think Denmark will pull through with their vast war chest of government generosity for our citizens (who gave until it hurt when others suffered, i.e. Tsunami Relief)? Hell no. Unfortunately for us, we have no way of convincing the rest of the insane world that our private dollars are just as valid as our tax dollars.
