Wow! That's really informative. We never thought that some Americans suffer poverty being one of the richest nations in the world and having many rich people, high profile celebrities and all. Whenever a calamity strikes the Philippines, the US is one of the very first to aid our victims. The high cost of the wars US engages into, should first be used to help your people. Charity begins at home. That's what we know.

Jingles, thanks for enlightening us. :-)
