And why are we so generous to these people, and we don't want to help out our neighbors when it comes to the healthcare issue? Is anybody worrying about the cost of helping Haiti the way some of us are worrying about the cost of the proposed healthcare bill?

Because this is an emotional hook. A baby in a collapsed in a building??? OMG here's my debit card.
Why weren't we there helping them rebar? Because it is not our fucking job to go do everything for everybody. Why didn't we make sure they had survival supplies? It isn't our fucking job. I'm more interested in whether or not my neighbor has supplies - because that could possibly effect me in the future. Haiti? Like to help but resources are finite.
