There's a funny story about donating to the Red Cross (well "funny" might not be the right word for it, considering thousands of people lost their home and loved ones, but just listen). Yes, many organizations, schools, churches, and other groups (much like Bungie) are sending money to the Red Cross for victims of Hurricane Katrina. One of those organizations is, who you're probably familiar with, PayPal. In just 9 hours, $30,000 was raised by donating users of PayPal. But the president of the Red Cross wouldn't take this money. He/she believed that the owner of PayPal, had access to the users accounts, and was taking money out of them. So the owner of PayPal simply said "Okay, don't take the money." After that, every PayPal member who donated money were refunded. But why wouldn't you take the money? It's not like PayPal is buying some thing from you. Why would the owner steal it? Well, it's not like Red Cross is scraping for money, so it's not too much of a problem.
