My dad said wwwaaaayyyy back that he would never give a dime of money to the Red Cross. Time and blood, yes, but no money.

During WW2 they were SELLING the donated sandwiches, cigs, etc to soldiers overseas. There is one of the lung cancer funds, I can't remember which, that mom and dad wouldn't give to either but there are several of those now.

My grandad collected Easter Seals, full plates but he flat refused to send the society any money. This is not a new thing, folks.

I am still getting address labels for my mum, died in 98, her name, this address. She NEVER lived here. She is still getting opportunities too. At first I marked them Deceased and returned them. Now, I don't bother. Nature Conservancy, World Wildlife Fund and Southwest Indian Foundation are the worst offenders there.
