We got through Christmas, with that lovely commercial giving
spirit, and Valentine’s Day where happy gift givers certainly sincerely
expressed their love, and now half the world can celebrate Chinese New Year,
where the giving of little envelopes filled with cash continues around the
world.
Pardon me if I read all the other stuff. The Camden charity whose president went
missing with the money. The published
list of the worst charities in the country (http://www.tampabay.com/americas-worst-charities/
) who took in millions and spent pennies on direct aid to their causes.
Now we read about the ‘ice water challenge’ which is just
sitting on most ($90+ million) of the money without purpose just because they can. Pardon
me if I think we are all being had.
The weather is cold. Donate
your charitable time and effort to shut in neighbors, or a hospital volunteer
organization, or the little league. (apologies to Bill and Melinda Gates) Keep
your money. It is bound and destined for
the sharks.
