And that said, let me say this as well. While I have no problem with people choosing not to give, I think it may irk me a bit when you couple choosing not to give with criticizing those who DO choose to give, time, money, etc.
As far as Haiti goes, I've been there before, and I think anyone that has actually been there before would understand that it's a different level of poverty. While being an American is fantastic, and I'm proud of that....I'm proud to be a human/steward of the Earth in general first.
As stated on FB (and good gosh, did that create a shitstorm), that's pretty much my feel for it, too. Give money, give time, give what you can to something that's important to YOU. The only person I have to answer to for my volunteer work/charitable contributions is me.
