Police use surveillance video to track down big-hearted 11-y/o who donated his savings -- $10.03 -- to the department

Two days after the 12th anniversary of 9/11, a Wisconsin boy walked into the Greenfield Police Department and up to the clerk, opened his backpack and pulled out a bag full of coins.

1. Oh, no, young man!

You should give it to a church! Then it will help do so much more, like going toward the pastor buying a private 747 to fly "mission trips" all over the world "helping" (themselves to blood diamonds).

4. I had to laugh when I heard a Christian say that he doesn't see government taking care of

social concerns because that's his church's job.

There was so much wrong in the assumption that churches can objectively take care of everyone, that I don't know where to begin.
