Wal-mart had a blue milk jug with a piece of paper taped to the front that said "Donate to the Katrina Relief". A jug! For all I know, that's the cashier's and she empties it into her pocket before going home.
The guy on the news said if we gave anything to give money, but that's (what you said, I mean) pretty much why I don't like to give money. It's kinda hard to steal a can of green beans and use it to buy booze or a whore... not that it can't be done, I guess.
