That is a great idea, however it needs to be done properly. By that I mean the proceeds donated to the right charity. I'd suggest the Red Cross or something similar? I'd definitely suggest you stay well away from those extremist religious charities (you know the ones), where like 90 cents from every dollar goes to "administration" and "furthering the message" and the remainder if lucky, makes it to the intended victims.

Hell, don't get me started, but thats borderline, or over, Cult status in my opinion.

Now don't jump on me, and beat me to death, it's not the Religious aspect I have a problem with, it's the manipulation of people in need, and the generosity of the people contributing. It's just a pity this seem to be linked to "those" groups...

I fully agree with you - I was thinking Oxfam, but the Red Cross would be just as good I guess.

The problem with lines drawn in the sand is that the tides of acceptable behaviour sometimes ebb and leave you all alone and too far up the beach!

This is however infinately preferable to when the same tide comes crashing in just as quickly, leaving you on the wrong side of the line and in the water up to your neck!

Juding the position between the low and high water marks on the beach of morality is a tricky business and sadly, on this beach, there are no life guards!

You are so wise and profound Mr Paul
In fact, you may be, as someone once phrased it, "As wordly wise as an owl with an atlas up its backside"

I bow my unworthy head in salute
