It's OK to beg

So, someone just came in with a form to buy pizzas as a fundraiser.
The point was to defer costs for Verizon to keep their DSL costs low so that
people don't go to, say, Comcast cable modems.
Bizarre, isn't it?
I mean, isn't that effectively begging?
Having worked in the non-profit world, I shudder to call this fundraising.

Now, substitute 'Expensive Day Care Provider' for 'Verizon' and 'Double strollers
and Outdoor equipment' for 'DSL'
hm.

you really need to read the whole post.
Note how I said to make a substitution.

ok, lets take this slowly:
someone at work has their child in day care.
An expensive day care.
The daycare center was trying to raise money to get new outdoor equipment and strollers.

my post is very clear.
clean your glasses.
and yes, the whole point of paying for daycare is that the daycare then uses these monies to buy things.
and the person doing the 'begging' understands this is crazy too (but, apprently, there's a guy in the office who likes the pizzas)
