They are none of those things individually, and a cancer and pox on humanity collectively.<br /><br />At some point, when someone realizes what they've been up to, they become a legitimate actionable target - in every sense of that word - and no one will shed any tears when they start collecting payback in kind for the terror and chaos they've wrought.<br /><br />The list of <i>bona fide</i> charities that actually do what they promise has shrunken to a bare handful. I stopped playing with the incompetent idiots at the Red Cross once it became largely a dodge to employ those incompetents -who couldn't qualify for a job bagging groceries in the commercial hiring pool - to misdirect and misappropriate vast sums of good faith money, and vast armies of volunteers altogether more honest and capable than the officially hired @$$clowns nominally running the show.<br /><br />When the clowns and monkeys run the circus, get out, and stop buying tickets. <br /><br />Orwell warned us: Pigs are for ham and bacon; not for running the Animal Farm.Aesophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834464741531503378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-87716629782589434862021-10-20T06:59:06.916-05:002021-10-20T06:59:06.916-05:00One other thing: I used to donate to the ADL.
