Japan

The internet is the greatest way to spread the word and connect the world. Everyone knows (unless you live under the proverbial rock) that Japan has suffered through an 8.9 earthquake and a tsunami that has wiped out whole villages near the coast. While earthquakes are common in that region, the tsunami has devastated the country almost up the entire coast. Their national guard and red cross cannot handle the amount of damage. They're running low on body bags, and it is estimated that there are at least 10,000 dead. We live in a country as developed (or even less) than theirs. Remember Hurricane Katrina, the tsunami in the pacific only two years ago, and even in history, there was an earthquake and tsunami that destroyed Lisbon in 1755. We need to ban together and send money and supplies as soon as possible. To donate $10, text redcross to 90999. You can also called 1800redcross or to donate by mail, go to www.redcross.org and hover over 'giving and getting involved' and click 'mail' to get the form you have to print and place in the envelope with your donation. I wish the best for the people of Japan and pray that they will find their loved ones alive and safe.
