We always give to the Salvation Army. I have some extra money to donate this year, and was looking around for additional recipients.

I am a lawyer, do a lot of pro bono for Legal Aid, and a lot of people in shelters and otherwise receiving charity don't really meet my standards as charity cases, like the lady with the Porsche who qualifies because it has no equity and she has no job. So I am a mite disgusted with what I percieve as milking the system.

I do like the idea of the Heifer Project, because it is not just money, but a way to make your own money.

Giving a pregnant cow is the essence of capitalist charity.
