I saw a clip on the news this morning about former President Bush and former President Clinton have joined forces to solict private donations to aid areas devastated by the tsunami in the Indian Ocean.
They showed Bush Sr. speak about how it feels good to give and feels good to help out.
I have a problem with that. Give because it makes you feel good? You give because it is the right thing to do. I believe that people should live their life, as much as possible, doing things because it is the right thing to do, not because it makes us feel good.
I think a lot of the "Hollywood" types give because it makes them feel good...possibly out of guilt for having so much money...and becasue it makes them look good to others and the media.
This is One Man's Opinion

Do you think that Bush Sr. is a "Hollywood Type" then?
I knew Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger were, but I didn't think Bush Sr. was. Maybe he's "Hollywood" by association with them and Charlton Heston. I wonder if they all donated, and if it felt good.
