Glen -
Although I haven't participated, I think we can learn quite a bit from
the outright generosity shown by Kickstarter participants.
To me it is important to believe there are things inherently worth
doing, and that there is someone that wants to do them and a means to
get them done.
I can't help but notice you edited out giving money to the homeless...
Don't you think hanging out on the street drinking cheap wine is
inherently worth doing? [*]
I do it at home every night myself. In fact I hear Charles Shaw calling
my name from across the room... I can't wait until his viticulturists
start editing in firefly sequences so I can drink it in the dark after
the electric grid crashes!
[*] Yes, I know this is a callous, unfunny, joke, indicative of my
old-white-man prejudices ... but I couldn't help it. It's a problem.
I'll have to bring it up with my therapist.
I don't think you qualify as *old* white man... a bunch of us have a
number of years on you... heck I think a good chunk has a number of
years on ME!
Which is a good time to make the point that Stephen Guerin turns 46 next
week... time for a good Razzing I'd say!
