			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After doing a bit of house-cleaning<sup>1</sup> and trying to fix a problem with <a href="http://ariesna.livejournal.com/" title="Ariesna's Journal">Ariesna</a>’s computer<sup>2</sup> when I decided to take a break and read some blogs off my portal page.  At <a href="http://awelkin.livejournal.com/" title="Writing About the Edges">AWelkin</a>’s page, I ran across this link: <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/baylorsr/244258.html?mode=reply" title="Looking for Baylor | 2005 Inaugural Celebration">2005 Inaugural Celebration</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>Estimated cost of the 2005 Presidential Inauguration celebration: $40 million<br />
Amount currently pledged by the United States to aid victims of Sunday’s tsunami: $35 million<br />
.…<br />
<em>I read that the cost of your upcoming inauguration has surpassed $40 million. I also read this morning that the tsunami death toll has reached 114,000, and that more than 1,300 U.S. soldiers have died in Iraq since our 2003 invasion. I know too that many Iraqi civilians have suffered this past year.</em></p>
<p><em>I think it would be a magnanimous and inspiring act of Christian goodwill and worldwide solidarity if you were to forgo the planned inaugural celebrations this year and instead pledge those funds to worldwide disaster relief and the rebuilding of civilian infrastructure in Iraq. I think it would be a gesture that Americans, and indeed, the world, would never forget. </em><br />
.…</p></blockquote>
<p>I thought that was rather inspired and stopped a moment to do the same.  I post about it here to try spreading the word to encourage others to do the same.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, I almost forgot.  I hope you all have a happy, safe &amp; properous new year!</p>
<p><sup>1</sup> Stop that sniggering!  Everybody has to clean their place some time and while I dislike doing it; sometimes the mood hits me.  Today it hit me because I was drying a rug on the shower curtain bar and the water that came out of it was funny colored.  It rather resembled the cat vomit that hit the rug last night; hence my desire to clean the tub before using it today.<br />
<sup>2</sup> Sorry dear, it’s still not working.  I’ve got an alternative plan in mind now but it’s ugly.  Tell you about it later.</p>
