Good job Mitch, not that it'll help though imo; with the widespread
corruption in that part of the world, I'd be surprised if a lot of the aid,
especially $, ever gets to where its needed. That, and the various ethnic
groups, tribes, etc use the donated food, etc. as a weapon too, ala Somalia.

But hopefully I'll be wrong <g>

('buster' huh? Too cowardly to use a real name...)

You are arguably the biggest jackass to post here in many years.

Would you please do us all a BIG favor?!
Kindly STFU, then crawl back into the slime slathered sewer pipe you
emerged from.

I have to think a $10 million anonymous donation would be just as effective.

It would be impossible for the world's most famous sports star to make an
anonymous 10 million dollar donation.

The way I see it, Schumi so far is the only F1 driver having made a major
contribution. His example could exert a certain pressure on others in F1 to
follow his example.

Hence, I think it's good he (or rather his management) made it public. There's
so much money in F1. I'm surprised nobody has asked yet where F1's contribution is.

Maybe they've all donated anonymously - but I doubt it.

Schumi's contribution will put some pressure on the others in F1.

Schumi won't get any. He lives in Switzerland and pays very little taxe at all
for all I know

Achim

I second that.

No need to worry.
The major charity organisations have direct control up to the receivers.
It's not like other countries where you have to deliver to the doorstep and then
go home w/o possibility of control.

PS: corruption is also present here but works different.
