10/18 I've got some money put into my annual guilt trip allayment fund,
and am looking for nonprofits that do good work with local
poor/homeless to donate to. How's Food not Bombs?
\_"Food, not Bombs" is less community service and more political
activism. If you really want to help people, there's a small group
that operates in west Oakland called Western Service Workers
Association. I did a stint with them a long while back. They were
definitely legitimate.
\_ Food Not Bombs does more with less than any other service
organization I have ever seen. Their only "political" stance
is that homeless are people. My experience with WSWA is that
that they are a bunch of vaguely totalitarian, though good
hearted, commie loons. Coming from me, that says a lot. Also,
why not sign your posts? -ausman
\_Well, they've started riots in SF and distributed quite a
bit of political literature for a number of wacko causes
in SF, at least when I was in high school there. -John
\_"vaguely totalitarian... commie loons."??? and just how
would you describe FNB?? MY experience with FNB is that they
ARE political. Hell, they didn't just pick that name because
they were enamored of its idiocy. -crebbs
\_ Also, they stole food from CLOYNE (this was like 4
years ago).
\_ How about a Guatemalan death squad? -John |
