Crowdfunding for a safe zone would be ridiculous in a sad way.

I wonder if we could crowdfund for Free Republic.

There's a difference between asking someone to invest in a venture and asking someone for a handout.

Crowdfunding often blurs the line.

A floating swimming pool?
A phone launched into outer space?
Kinda puts my Craigslist Ad begging for a free Zebra Finch to shame, doesn’t it? I ended up waiting till I earned enough money to buy my own finches.

Crowdfunding.

Leveraging social networks for money.

Guilt trips and peer pressure combined.

There are beggars on the streets and on the web.

Is there no pride left?

...all enable fans to support their favorite musicians...

Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Crowdfunding is a great idea, just filled with idiots that can put together a good pitch video and no ability to deliver on their products.

That swimming pool in the East River would have been great and would have been an unbelievable bargain.

But rather it appears to have been unbelievable pie in the sky, stalled in funding now for years.

My idiot sister tried crowd-funding a vacation for herself and her husband. She genned up some kind of sob story or other. I don’t think it went too well for her.
