until you blithely swept up all non-profit organizations taking 90% of their money and spending it on things like salaries etc. I happen to work for such an organization and I must say that our biggest expense is salaries and rightly so. You need professionals to do the work, and those professionals have kids, and mortgages and car payments just like anyone else that they need to be able to pay for.

and to whom I give <BR>> my money. If I walk by someone ringing a bell or asking for a donation, <BR>> I don't feel compelled to comply.

I also tend to give to charities that are <BR>> putting money into trying to cure a medical condition. But that's just <BR>> my particular choice.<BR>>
<BR>> I understand feeling upset when someone ignores a person taking <BR>> donations and you care greatly about that specific cause, but trying to <BR>> guilt them into giving is just not the answer for a multitude of <BR>> reasons.
