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.

Helping others is helping others. If by helping others, you mean you
provided honest work to people who needed it, and paid them fairly, and
provided safe working conditions and a fringe package, you'll get no
argument from me.


LOL, as long as you follow those specific directions you qualify to be
respected by Harry. Heaven forbid if you provide work to people who are
actually qualified to do the job.
