Disaster fatigue

It appears that with so many monumental disasters happening at such a frequent pace, US citizens are overwhelmed and are not giving to relief charities. Personally, I rememer the asian tsunami and how KTIS, Dobson and most everyone was raising money. I felt compelled to give, and we did. But now there is no mention of Myanmar relief/fundraising because it has been eclipsed by the China quake. And if a volcano blows up in Chile tomorrow, the news will quickly forget about China. Strange times indeed. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20080519/D90OSC000.html
