Still the people in New Orleans, are far better off than the people in
many other parts of the world. It must be tough for those displaced by
Katrina, but they are not starving to death, or dying, in mass, of
preventable diseases.

I really don't like the idea of the BMG foundation "pushing" MSFT with
their contributions whether it's intentional or implied. Is it really an
honourable contribution if it increases one's own profitability? But at
least much of it is going to good causes.
