Great Tragedy Spawns Great Deeds or The Tale of The Ugly American

The aftermath of the tsunami tragedy has rekindled the message that America is NOT a country entirely inhabited by greedy lusting materialistic infidels. The America haters are having to keep quiet or eat crow. What's more revealing about our American soul is the amount of money goods and services from the private sector far outweigh that of any other country or countries combined and eventually will overshadow that of the US government.
So where is the UGLY AMERICAN now?
Well he or she is digging into their pockets to put change in a Girl Scouts bucket in front of a store or writing a check to a charity engaged in the relief work or buying something they need from a business that has pledged part of it's profits to support the victims.
If this is being an Ugly American gimme more of it please!
