6. I'm not certain I'll have the nerve to do this...
but I own a small business and the salvation army always asks me for lots of donations this time of year. They ask for things like snacks and sodas for various gatherings they have during the holidays. I'm thinking about telling them that I cannot with a clear conscious support any religious type organizations because of the role they played in doing real harm to the country and the world. The other part of me keeps imagining some poor little kid who has to drink kool-ade instead of soda. Course now that I've just reread that last sentence, I'm thinking maybe drinking kool-ade instead of soda is a small price to pay if it means that people are taking a stand that may ultimately keep you from being drafted! I dunno...
