You show no signs of sympathy fatigue yet. As a Canadian who's heard it all about Americans, and who's moved here and discovered something quite different, that's the thing I'm proud of: Americans don't know what sympathy fatigue is. They are always there. They have very loose purse strings. And if this hurricane had happened in Japan or in Australia, we'd be on the donation leaderboard there too. It's not just Americans for Americans. It just happens to be that way today. Hmmmm, Americans are well into their third century right? You show no signs of sympathy fatigue yet.
