Indeed the corporate/bureaucratic aspect of the Red Cross is pretty disturbing, and right now it seems increasingly apparent. Not to mention the ads, practically everything commerce related currently dons their logo, I've seen it at my bank, in Safeway, ATM machines, the Post Office, all over TV, etc. I'm glad they are helping and raising a large amount of funds but I feel the littler dude organizations could do much more in immediate aid as well as permanent community repair with that kind of dough. Not that the Red Cross is necessarily shady as that remains to be proven, but perhaps a little caught up in crimson ribbon.
