At the Seahawks game today, people were posted throughout the stadium to collect donations for the victims of the South Asian tsunami. Towards the game it was announced that over $160, 000 had been collected, and that they were still counting. What's so interesting about this is that this amount is larger than the amount of money the entire country of France divvied up in the immediate aftermath of the tsunami. Now granted, France has probably since upped their donations, but I still think it says something that a few thousand people were able to generate more money for those in need than the country that is supposed to serve as the counter to American power could.
