Don't get me wrong, I love helping out the VFW by buying a poppy, donating food to the Boy Scouts, helping out the Girl Scouts, as well as occasionaly donating money at the store for a good cause. Just don't pounce on me all at once. To enter Albertson's today I had to threat a gauntlet of all four charitable causes. Yikes!
Talk about oversaturation of a market! It caused me to wonder, who should I single out to help? I answered the ethical problem by walking away and not donating to any one of them. I know I'm not a scrooge, but I'm not made of gold either. I can only handle one cause at a time; therefore, I decided to buy a poppy from the VFW tomorrow. However, this decision doesn't assuage the guilt that I have from deserting them all.
Sigh. I guess you can't win them all.

You may not be made of gold, but you have a heart of gold.
And if you're still torn over who to give to - just give to me.
You don't even have to go to Albersons to do it. I'll see you at church in a couple hours - you can just pay me there.
Yeah I'd be glad to take any charitable donations. If you gave to me, you'd know it was going to a worthy cause, like my flat screen fund. What cause is more noble? None that i know of!
you're a nerd.. you know.. i have a very good cheritable cause... it's called "keep leilani sane"... and you need not give money to it!! just prayer!!
love ya!
Maybe you should make a both of your own. Then you could collect from everyone else and forward the funds to all the charities you like. Of course you would have to take a cut for your overhead expenses ;)
Hey Zach,
It will go towards my flat screen account before it goes into yours!
C'mon bro. My wall sits empty in anticipation for my flat screen. I won't let my wife put anything in that spot so that I can my sweet plasma screen there next year hopefully. So whatever you can spare will be gladly accepeted.
