Why does the government have to be more misery to the
victims of September 11th.

I will make my point simple.
This comes from reading the article in today's Charlotte Observer





Terrorism aftermath
Victim portion of fund debated


Government weighs effect of charity on payments to families


By DAVID BARSTOW DIANA B. HENRIQUES


New York Times




Why does the government have to be involved in the issuance of these funds
to the victims? For this reason myself and a large number of people have
stopped donating to large charitable organizations because of all the red
tape and beaucratic mess. We have instead began to send funds directly to
the victims by other means. Can you really place a monetary value on
people's lives? Do you think giving excess funds to the familes will make
their pain go away? How come the poor innocent victims who were not city
or government workers have to be chastised by the government? And if they
don't give it to the victims families, where will it go?
