Either way, I don't much like the idea of any donated funds going to rebuild the city in its present location. Unless someone wants to pay to truck in several millon tons of topsoil to raise the city above sea level, it shouldn't be rebuilt where it is, and had damn well not be the american taxpayer who has to pay to bring in the dirt.

You're pissed. My church has taken like 200,000 in collection money that my family and other families have donated, and sent it to rebuild a church of all things (i'm not anti-religion, but organized religion is bs, and you dont need a church or a guy who rapes 5 year old boys to pray). They're rebuilding the church on the same location that got knocked down, which prompted me to ask, "why not donate that to poor children or something."
history will repeat itself.
Obviously rebuilding that city there is more important than poor kids in africa tho.
The homeless, hospital-less and hungry had my sympathy, but at least there's a new church to thank god for his divine destruction of the city in.
