Donnie: Consider on hand raised in California. I would be happy to contribute to a charity auction for something I consider to be a worthy and good cause. GD avplanet wrote:
And another thing... I noticed that everyone was quick to (fail to) justify the obssessive compulsive behavior of... 'paying 46,000 for a lobbycard'
also, quick were people to say they liked new collectors... Prove it... Start offering $10-$20 1Sheets in your MoPo for sale/auction ads.
however, there seems to be a deafening silence from all you $46,000 lobbycard advocates in response to... Amanda's REAL POINT... She only wrote a ten-to-one ratio of words on CHARITY GIVING SOMETHING BACK A CHARITY AUCTION SELLING JUST ONE OF YOUR PRECIOUS BABIES TO... -SAVE A FEW REAL BABIES? Were any of you paying attention to the words of wisdom that sprung-forth from our youngest member?
Please don't say "I gave at the office" Somehow this kind of thing only makes me grimace.
Amanda, a disabled 21 year old member of our group has asked in crystal-clear language THAT NO ONE WANTED TO HEAR... If we were willing to give up a poster for the poor? She even offered to organize/run a charity auction.
Amanda, this is a TRULY NOBLE idea that might even make some of our other selfish, egocentric pursuits/obssessions... seem a bit... noble? I'll tell you what Amanda... As a priest at my local parish is fond of saying... "we should all give 10% of what we earn to the poor" Translation? If you can actually set something like this up? I pledge to donate item/items from my collection worth at least 10% as much as the nicest (most insane) piece I ever bought. By this standard... I'm in for a few hundred bucks... Yet, I'm awfully glad I wasn't pontificating earlier on the virtues of buying a $46,000 lobbycard. -Donnie ps This is the moment in the program when you raise your hands
