A Southern guy I know well, one of you wingnut types, told me he donates
to his church, and that is his charitable activity. Does his church help
the poor? Nope. It builds buildings, pays high salaries to its
ministers, buys them fancy cars, and sends "missionaries" out to convert
Christians to...Christianity.

I just wonder from time to time what "the rich boys" here do other than
indulge themselves. It would be nice to know that some participants,
especially the wealthier retirees, are "involved" in helping those who
need a little help.


I think people should do what their conscience tells them, in the manner
they prefer and to the degree they decide.
I don't think people need to be told how, where, why and how much in
order to pass muster in the eyes of others.

Don't you agree?

I agree with the sentence beginning "I think people..." One of my criteria
for "judging" people, though, is what they do to help others. It's part of
the "mustering" process I apply to others.

I see. But what if I or others help in a manner that is not acceptable to
you, not recognized as help by you or in a manner that you couldn't.
Apparently I become a righty wingnut in your narrow vision.
