Over the many years I've been reading this newsgroup. I've not noticed
that very many of its wealthier participants ever mention what they do,
financially or otherwise, to help those who could use a little help.
Perhaps that is because most of those who post here are Republican
wingnuts.

That's why I ask.

I see. So, according to you, the wealthier participants of rec.boats, in
order to not be tagged as a self-indulgent, Republican wingnuts, are
expected to give a full disclosure of volunteer work, charitable
contributions and "causes" to which they are involved?

I think it's none of your business.

Full disclosure? Of course not. Not even partial disclosure. My guess is
that most of the Republican wingnuts here are not really involved in any
charitable work that helps the poorest of the poor.

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 donate my time, talents and treasure to numerous charities. Thanks
for asking.

Is your Dr. Dr. wife still spending half of her time doing "pro bono"
work? Have you ever considered actually doing something to help the
less fortunate instead of talking about doing something to help them?

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.

So what have you ever really done to help 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.
