I see eBay has contributed $250,000
Nice of them wasn't it? It could have been a hell of a lot more considering how much they make off of that site of theirs everyday (well over $250,000 a day no doubt).

Now what about amazon.com? I ask you amazon.com to please start up an online charity similar to the one you had for tsunami relief. It collected a lot of money - I believe over $20,000,000 or more.

3. I guess I need to...
...use the :sarcasm: icon more often.

Money's money. The victims can use it, whether it's ten bucks or a quarter million, from me, from you or from amazon.

Am I mistaken?

5. A lot of corps are being tight wads...
we must pressure them to donate more money. Surely major corps can donate AT LEAST 1 million, if not $5 million +

NBA better pony up way more than $1 million or I will never watch an NBA game again.
