I post the response on the net before our "transmission cable" became hot.

First my question was serious, I do not know very well the american Social
System but I feel very sorry too, to think that you have to make a fund to help
these childrens.

Second, these childrens, which suffered a great loss indeed, and you could be
sure that I have sympathy for them, looks for me like the childrens or people
which loose parents or friends in such a catastrophe. The tomorow of the
shuttle catastrophe, there were a Airplane Crash in South America: 27 deads...
Be sure that I have a lot of sympathy for them too. But Medias seem to have
forgotten them... And American Fund too.

Third, Do you really think that it is money that these childrens need?
Do you really think that sympathy can only be Dollars. Excuse me but I
feel sorry for you, to see that the only think that you can do for them is to
make a Fund. I understand that we can make a fund like AFRICA AID, of "LES
RESTAURANTS DU COEUR" in France. But here, is it the best solution? I doubt.

I apologize for my poor English, and my response would be more precise if it
was written in french.
