     This is getting really old.  How each of us chooses to donate money or 
time or goods or services is our own choice.  I find it offensive that we now 
find ourselves sniping about who gives how much to what charity.  If I want 
to donate to a 9/11 fund, then perhaps the response should be "thank you," 
even if I give $5, $50, $500 or $50,000.  My contribution should not be 
compared to my annual income (again, my business) and my spirit judged 
accordingly.  If I choose to give to animal shelters, women's shelters, or 
nature refuges, I should not be criticized for not giving to the others.  
Now, perhaps if I post and say, "I choose to donate NOTHING to ANY charity," 
I am fair game for some comments, but otherwise, buzz off.
     On the better side, I put in my order for NBA League pass last night.  
Bring on the season!
