Why? Private charity is a mildly interesting subject, but it isn't any

I agree entirely.

Read the book. It's not that simple.

Eeyore and Slowman have no clue. Our private charities are far more
efficient that ANY government entity.

My favorite charity...

They only read what they already believe.

In order to read only what I already believed, I'd have to know what
was in a book before I read it, so I'd never be able to read a new
book. Admittedly, there are books around whose content is pretty
predictable - "Who Really Cares?" is fairly obviously designed to
flatter Republicans - but what is the point of reading a book if you
aren't going to learn something new from it?

It wasn't designed to flatter anybody; the author admits he didn't
like the statistics he found. OK, stay selfish and smug.


And they probably give
little or nothing, beyond paying taxes, to help others.

Whereas you give big bucks?

Check out Matthew "But when you give alms, do not let your left hand
know what your right hand is doing, so that your alms may be in
secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you."

You are recommending the New Testamant as a guide to behavior? I don't
expect rewards from helping people.
