This thread is reminding me of my uneasiness with some charities... there are plenty that primarily benefit the yutz that runs the thing... their primary purpose is to take 80 percent of your money give it to Joe Careingheart Charitypanhandler and pass the rest on to some organization that actually helps people. I rather give directly to organization that helps people than help Joe Careingheart make a living Leaching off of people's kindness.
A lot of those organizations also give the money at their disgression to various organizations... some of which I'd never want to give money to.
And some of the folks and advertisers collecting are just super manipulative... Like playing that super sad arms of the angel song on TV...sad stuff makes me tune away. next time I see the help third world folks with two left feet commercials I wanna hear Tom Petty singing " you don't have to live like a refugee"
