On a more serious note...From Ozma914

I was reading in a recent post; according to Amnesty International, one in three Native American is at risk for sexual violence (http://web.amnesty.org/library/Index/ENGAMR510352007). A battered women's shelter on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, Pretty Bird Woman House (http://prettybirdwomanhouse.chipin.com/pretty-bird-woman-house) (named after the founder's sister, who was raped and murdered in 2001) is in imminent danger of going under, due to loss of its funding. It will be forced to close in May if new resources can’t be found. Please contribute what you can.

I hope they can keep the place going; it's tragic that people put millions of dollars into movies and sports franchises, but can't come up with a few bucks for something truly important.
