Charity a great coverup for fraud, "look how charitable I am"
So what if I "invest" in criminals who's crimes create the very need for the charity to begin with, "invest" in propaganda networks so huge that Goebbels would be envious, "invest" in bribing public officials and buying influence: I give more to charity than you'll ever make in your lifetime!

Now bail my ass out and stay dumb!

1. Interesting point, but I have a question:
Is this a generic rant, or do you have a/some specific one/s you'd like us to consider?

2. Some, but not all, Charity is a racket.
501(c)3 non-working boards of directors, for example, should be interesting to see how this all shakes out when we get a little further down the road to "Faith-based Initiatives".
