Posts about you actually being conned out of your money are way funnier than posts about you wishing to be conned out of you're money over the intenet.

You know what would be really great? If the federal and state income taxes were raised to about 85% of the income of anyone making over $50,000, and then the government could give away all that money and you would not need to look for opportunities to do so on the internet.

I actually agree with Mike and (slightly sarcastic) Andy.

This post was supposed to be more about the idea of "micro casting", but then got distractingly smeared by my dirty handed guilt complex.

I don't consider it a very good post by me, for that reason. Also, given it's dryness, a complete lack of jokes is a pretty damning oversight.

What is so bad about targeted giving? And if technology made it simpler and more efficient, what is so bad about that? I assumed you weren't serious about going Big Brother on the homeless of Hopkins, but I was intrigued by the use of the word "conned."

In Kyle's defense I know he is unusually generous!
However, I have to say, as a former child of the "60s" I find it ridiculous that anyone needs help finding the needy, or a suitably needy group to give donations too.
Your donation can help a food shelf - there is probaly one around the corner in Hopkins.
What about "Mary's Place" a homeless shelter near downtowm Minneapolis, which by the way does not receive any funds from the United Way. Founded by Mary Jo Copeland, "Mary's Place" houses families until they can get employed and find a place to live. Donations of clothing, money or food are always needed. But let me challenge the X, Y or Z generation, what ever you are calling yourselves... most organizations can also use doantions of your time.
Wow, now that's gonna hurt!
