Hi! I'll Be Your Friend if You Help the Environment!

The Painted Ground loves the environment about the same much everybody else does.

Heck, we hate the Hummer. In fact, we almost got ran over by one this afternoon. We gave the driver what for!

Alas, that is another story.

What we really want to get off our chest is how much we hate those charity muggers. Those kids fresh out of school for the summer who ask rhetorical and/or trick questions to get someone to donate money to a charity really gets on our nerves. It makes us so mad we just want to spit!

That's another bad thing about the summer. These tykes are everywhere!

"Hi! Do you want to save a child's life?"

"How are you? Do you have a moment to help stop global warming?"

"Hey there! How are you! I like your shirt! I love Broken Social Scheme*, too. Do you have a moment to care about California's future?"

Honestly, those charities should really feel ashamed for themselves for employing such tactics. The Painted Ground recognizes the importance of providing a future for our offspring, but we really don't want to be guilted into giving what little money we have. What makes us laugh is the fact that they use the same tactics on college campuses. The same places where the term "starving student" was coined.

There is a special place in hell for those charity muggers.

And the socialists who try to tell us why we should join the socialist party.

Oh, and the LaRouche people. But, mostly they just make us giggle.

*That there was a joke. Hope you got it.
