Today I gave... It feels good. I felt it to be a more sincere and worthwhile gesture than waving a flag or wearing a R,W&B ribbon. For me, all of that patriotism is not the appropriate response. I like what the Red Cross has done with blood drives and supporting the families of the dead and missing.

Instead of those flags I see popping up on web pages all over the Internet, I will put up a Red Cross banner on all my web pages with a link to the National Disaster Relief Fund. Who knows? Maybe one or two people will click on it and make a donation.
