"They're trying to fool you. They're trying to scare you and they're not telling the truth," a fired-up Obama declared while campaigning in South Dakota. "But it's not going to work. Both Bush and McCain represent the failed foreign policy and fear mongering of the past," Obama said. "I believe the American people are ready to reject this approach and to choose the future."

If our friends who we visit... (Below threshold)1. Posted by Fritz | February 27, 2004 1:26 PM | Score: 0 (0 votes cast)
If our friends who we visit online (sometimes every day) lived nearby, we'd be taking them out to dinner or occassionally buying a house-warming, baby shower gift, etc. Borrowing garden tools. Babysitting. You know the drill.
How is sending off $10, $15, $20 bucks when a friend is in need any different?
I prefer knowing that I'm helping good people in a time of need rather than using the money to buy the neighbor kid's school candy or a baby shower gift for a co-worker I don't really like.
