The great thing about charitable giving is that you get to choose where your resources go. If you don't approve of what a particular organization is doing, don't give to them. Try that with your tax dollars some time. I doubt you get the nice Hollywood outcome like in Stranger Than Fiction.

I'm against it. It's a slippery slope. Bad people will do bad things no matter what. Infringing on the rights of everyone doesn't solve that problem. However, we could do better at punishing individuals when they violate the rights of others.

In your experience, can you roll thistles early enough that they haven't gone to seed, but late enough that they'll stay down and not reflower? I've been mowing (or cutting mine depending on location) and trying to find that perfect timing where most haven't gone to seed but don't grow back...
