Million Dollar Blog Post
My friend Austin Hill has put up the Million Dollar Blog Post [link to http://www.gifter.org/index.php/million-dollar-blog-post/ no longer works. They, and their sponsors, will donate up to a million dollars to charity, at $1 per comment.
I think charity is tremendously important. I’ve been lucky enough to have a set of skills that are well rewarded in today’s world. (I’m reminded of a joke Warren Buffet tells, of what would have happened if he were a cave man: as he runs from a saber-toothed tiger, he yells, “But I can allocate capital efficiently!”) I’m lucky enough to have missed many of the horrors of the twentieth century.
Some of the organizations I give to include:
- Simon’s Rock College, my alma mater
- The Electronic Privacy Information Center.
- Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership. Happy Hannukah! (I’ll note that many of my friends who are members aren’t Jewish. You simply can’t find a more principled organization in favor of your right to self-defense.)
If you’re reading this blog, odds are good you’re employed in the sort of job that allows you to surf the Internet. Which puts you in an excellent position to spend a few more minutes surfing the web, and donating to worthy causes and those less fortunate than you.
Why not start with the Million Dollar Blog Post [http://www.gifter.org/index.php/million-dollar-blog-post/], and go on from there?
