Re:That is great..

Because in all honesty people have no idea what is worth donating for. This might seems a bit cruel but it is a fact. They have the right idea , just lack the interest to find out what the "world" really needs right now. People donating to Child's Play , are just people that want to do a good thing and buy something / give some money. That is great and I admire them for that. It is more then most people do. But would they donate a GameCube to a hospital somewhere , if they knew that the same 90$ would provide fresh water for a whole village in Africa and possibly save allot of lives? Or that it would provide with enough vaccine to protect 100children from common ( in the wester world) illnesses that are ( in 2rd world countries) 50% of the time lethal?
