" Even the artsie-fartsies (I will get sooo in trouble for this) can have influence on "their" bond by simply buying it."
-- Exactly! If you're an art lover, why not just buy an EduBond in the type of art that you love so much? If you love classical music, buy an EduBond in music. If you love books, invest in an EduBond in Literature? In fact, it'd be even better than donating it because you actually get a return on your investment. With a system like this, who needs the National Endowment for the Arts???
BTW, do you have any information on these "Labor Bonds"?
Labour Bonds: I'll try to find a link. It's been a while and I can't remember their exact name but I should be able to google them out. I only remember that they spell labor with a "u"... :o)
