i think you and zach misunderstand.

this is not a "feed the children" gimmick - nor is it a "welfare" program to feed over-breeding under-privilaged children's families.

if you wish to see a starving childrens charity i direct you to Sally Struthers.

THIS particular charity is for infants who are born pre-mature, born with birth defects, or born with various unusual yet treatable conditions.

it has nothing to do with them being hungry, poor, wealthy, or any of that garbage.

this has nothing to do with the infants socio-economic status or his likelihood of becoming a millionaire or street trash, or growing up to produce a bunch of little Joe Dirts.

while supporting things like research into alternative fuels and the like is a great way to impact millions or even billions of lives in the distant or near future... charities like March of Dimes assist families in dealing with infants who (by no fault of their own) are born pre-maturely or born with birth defects etc.

march of Dimes may or may not impact millions of lives in the future - but it will have a DIRECT IMPACT on a new born infant fighting for his life in neo natal intensive care. - RIGHT NOW.

as was stated above... you have no obligation to agree or contribute... if you hate charities, or just disagree with the idea of charity, or just dont feel like parting with 99 cents... thats cool... just dont even comment on the thread.

otherwise this is a cool idea to help two things..



AND



its that simple.
