Eric;

I hear what you are saying. The world didn't react as quickly to Rwanda, or the Khmer Rouge genocide in Kampuchea (Cambodia), or even to Nazism in Germany in the 1930's.

However, reaction seems to come quickly when it is a natural disaster rather than a man-made fiasco. I think of recent earthquakes in Iran, and the major one in Japan years ago. The world was quick to send in aid in each instance.

What I find odd is the lack of info coming out of Myanmar (Burma). The last I saw the gov't listed 16 dead. the UN said 90, but they were not permitted to go many places. Seems the Myanmar gov't is bound to keep the world out regardless of the nature or scale of its problems.

"Your thoughts are heartfelt and appreciated."

My thoughts are heartfelt, but I don't think they are appreciated by ebay. Why has ebay not responded to my concerns?

Is it because I have uncovered proof of charity solicitation fraud by ebay Inc.? Is it because this fraud has resulted in the death of children? Since 2003?
Have you visited the Tsunami Crisis Discussion board?

There is plenty of evidence of these crimes. And the info is all public. How long does ebay think they can ignore me and my concerns? Can ebay ignore international law?
