The giving of so much money to the fire victims is one measure of the compassion of this nation. Here’s an even more astonishing one, in an email from the Red Cross:

(Y)ou are one of 20-thousand special Australians who by Tuesday had already pledged to give blood. We will be contacting you as soon as we can to make you an appointment to give a life-saving blood donation. The sheer number of responses means this may take up to 3 weeks...

Wow.

  2. We are! But I'm sure that most people respond with similar kindness when they understand the needs.
