While you are correct that the Japanese govt has no direct need of money, the organizations providing goods and relief do . The highest profile one is the Red Cross and contrary to anything you may have heard previous to this, they are accounting for their use of funds. If you want to see such, simply request it or earmark your donations and request an itemized receipt if you give directly. And , as for the comments about use of Lindens for currency - well that IS what we use in here and it IS our universal currency. What would be good is if at the time of need to convert and deliver to Red Cross, there is no charge for the exchange. Please ,Linden Labs , consider this.
