Haiti Does Not Need Phonies

So tomorrow is "Wear Red for Haiti Day". That's all well and great but let's be sure of two things before it happens.

1. Anybody who wears red and thinks they've done their part in "raising awareness" is full of crap. It's like wearing green on Earth Day, like serving frosting without a cake and trying get candles to stand up in it. Only people have have donated money and/or time to one of the organizations saving lives in Haiti should be wearing red tomorrow.
2. This is primarily a fund-raiser, ideally you should be encouraging people to donate too. This is not exactly easy, there's a fine line between being rude and asking for money. There's an even more obscure one between showing off and asking for money too. If you just leave at a modest "Oh yeah, we're raising money for relief efforts in Haiti" you should be okay.
