Thanks to all of the participants.
On the face of it the bit about googleInc. helping the homeless might seem alluring and a few stats from the overhead projector about how it is a project that can help those "poor needy folk" could also buttress the argument about the wonders of such philanthropy but the reality is that when we take account of all the history AND the day to day this most recent "charitable" act will resolve precisely nothing.
What it will do however is serve to further the pretense and obscure the root causes.
Is that a good thing?
