      <![CDATA[Let me tell you from my past experience using Northwest Harvest's services.  They do all these food drives and ask for money, but _none_ of it makes it to the clients served.  I'd go there every week and all they would have is a few canned vegetables, potatoes and a bag of rice.  I don't know what happens to the stuff that's donated to them, but it never makes it to what's given to clients.  Maybe they sell it?!  It's a racket as far as I can see.

      <![CDATA[@2/4: I didn't mean to use the tragedy, in any way. I hesitated about posting about the Charity Challenge yesterday, and I had my colleague Paul Constant help with the post to try to make it appropriate and respectful. We both felt that people might want to do a small, normal, caring thing on such a hugely abnormal, incomprehensible day. We did not mean to sound mercenary. The Charity Challenge is the opposite of that.<br />
<br />
@everybody: Thanks for taking deep breaths and trying to understand each other. It is really, really nice to see the kind of empathy @5 and @6. Really nice. Thank you.

      <![CDATA[Hey #3, maybe if we have another massacre tomorrow we can all give $100. Fuckin' sleazebag, you're no better than the wingnuts who blamed it on the lack of God in the schools. Is there nothing you won't use to shake the goddamned money tree?

      <![CDATA[Just put in $50. Thanks for giving me something to do. <br />
<br />
Also, @2, I'm tempted to call you an asshole, but I just don't have the energy. And maybe you're just pissed like I am about this whole situation and feel like lashing out.  But you're barking up the wrong tree. Any time is a good time to help feed starving kids.
