Who do you give to, and why?

I used to support Greenpeace but stopped about 30 years ago. The reason for stopping is the Greenpeace opposition to a lot of essential development. For example : to nuclear power. More recently (the last 18 years) Greenpeace have been opposing genetic modification, which I think is one of the waves of the future, which will help to make a better world. I do not like any charity I support to get too political.

There is a somewhat Luddite tendency running through the extremes of the Green movement...

Yes, and racist as well. I ceased donating to Greenpeace for both those reasons, reallocating funds to other organisations instead.

I don't think about money that much. Cusp of civic collapse and everything. Money wont even help the rich out this hole we're approaching.

Actually, I do have a charity... I answer to internet surveys, and the reward is a small sum I give to libraries without borders.

Is there a charity that helps pay for penis enlargements for NRA members?

[Svartalf]

No, but there are plenty that pay for missionaries to go evangelize Africa

We thank the Almighty for that.

Bless the meal I'm about to partake of and all that.

United way, a small amount. I get a point for "participation." I was a Unitarian for a couple of years. I gave $10 to a collection basket. They said it would buy some grandmas in Transylvania bread for a month. If I was absolutely sure they would get it, I would have sent a bottle of wine too. We had to give to the church but only a small amount went to charity. They housed homeless women with kids one night a week in church common area.
