Its not just this original donation. He's donating his 'remuneration' from now until he retires as well. I'm not exactly sure what that means. It's either his salary or bonus to help the orphaned children. Either way that's an impressive amount of money.

Excellent, the Japanese citizens are showing true class in this horrible situation. We can all learn something here.

And while we are learning, let's buy him a Sam Adams Lager - show him a truly great American beer.

I agree. Except we can show him American beer better than Sam Adams.

How do you mean? Take Katrina for example, there were plenty of notable wealthy people in the USA chipping in time, energy, and money.

+1 while Sam is ok when there's nothing left at the market, there are much better. Give him a Sierra Nevada or a Dog Fish Head.
