Help us help Haiti.

I can see how this particular action of "Heroism" could "help" bungie with they're social standing. The thing about alledgedly giving money to strangers, is, its almost like you knew them, and they asked you to pay for their food... or marijuana...
I can see how this particular action of "Heroism" could help the government of Haiti. They always need money. Try paving roads without... hey wait, does Haiti even have any roads? I know they have pot. Lots of pot. Lots, and lots of pot. Did I mention the pot? I wonder where that stuff comes from? I thought they didn't have any resources to make anything . Scratch that myth. Why do these people need help anyway? Oh yeah. They were in an industrial... I mean catastrophical ...act of nature... probably caused by the bush administration.
The world, or the universe for that matter has it in for them. They got a black government discriminating against black people. How racist is that? Very racist. Unless, of course, its only natural. As the black nihilist philosopher/theologians say. But then... what would be wrong with an earthquake, death, taxes, racism, money, greed...? If it is the outcropping of a natural world. Woah! major paradox! Your head does not explode. You can't handle the truth! You disgust me. You are willingly ignorant. Or more politely: Not thinking critically. In that way you are very religous, worshiping whatever you find or see with your eyes, or more specifically, worshiping yourself;If you believe in anything based not on fact you are in effect believing in yourself. But you can die. What happens after that? But your not going to think about that...
I can see this particular "tragedy" of a Haitian earthquake could yield an emotional state or reaction, brought about by a game developer ie Bungie, bequeathed to respond by buying a t shirt and playing video games. With an added boost of self-confidence.

major problem: you can die. If your values are destroyed with your body( as the nihilist "anti philosophers" say)... how can there be a right and wrong, more specifically: how is buying addicted people marijuana, good? How do you know that what you see on television, or the internet, of helpless victims, is real? How do you know they are not putting on an act? For that matter how do you know that bungie is helping anyone besides you and themselves? Missionaries have been in Haiti for years. Helping people. Maybe they could use some help, you say. Maybe they could. But how do you know this action of "Heroism" will help?
Supposedly "Helping" by doing the exact same thing* you were doing before Bungie told you to "be a hero" may produce a fuzzy feeling in you, though.
I fail to see how this action of supposed charity can help or better the lives of the inhabitants of Haiti in any way.
