It would have cost less in lives and money if we had been good neighbors proactively.

You're right: fewer people dies because we did nothing and their houses collapsed on them. Now give more to charity, Einstein.

We're investing through charities now, though. Hmmm.

Nothing in terms of the charity that has been pouring in for the last week.

It would be wonderful if we could help the entire third world - and I'm sure there are policy changes, etc that we could implement to make the aid we do give more effective. But even the US doesn't have the kind of money to give such substantial amounts of assistance to Rwanda, Ethiopia, Brazil, on and on. Sure, if we had a magic ball we could have put money in Haiti ahead of time, the same as we could have warned people about the tsunami's and sent aid to Indonesia, India, etc, ahead of time. Unfortunately, time travel has yet to be invented (no doubt the pentagon is holding out on us).

OK Classic, you win. We did not give them nothing. I exagerated. We did not help our neighbors so much that their buildings collapsed on them because of all the rebar they couldn't afford.

Not you. It's the people who are giving to charities since the earthquake.
