I know a lot of you might think, "heck, they're going to get the money easily without me. If I send money it might be extra"
Let me ask you, what difference does it make? Does it really matter to do that of your lousy ten bucks, four, five or even six bucks might be overage? The important thing is to just cut the damn check and sent it.
Look, it's not as though this is a leviathon mega-charity with mega-salaried staff in high-rise offices pitching innocents with expensive heart-tugging television campaigns.
It's not like Sally Struthers is barging into your living room trying to shake you down!
Just write the damn check! $10, $20, $46, $460, $4600 - whatever you think is right. Equate your expense to whatever luxury you can think of - a couple beers, a CD, a dinner with your girlfriend. All of those things you can do without once, can't you?
Oh yeah, don't try the "It's Christmas, money's tight this month" excuse on me. The freakin singing rubber fish on a plaque company isn't going to go broke if you divert your money elsewhere.
Don't even think about what others may or may not do. The important thing is for you to act - right now.
If you choose not to donate I want you to remember this: I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE! Don't test me.
