yea, I know each of us could donate, but how many of us would bother donating those few nickels each... but a retail establishment can end up with a sizable chunk of change at the end of a month of a few thousand nickels here & there...
I guess the difference of philosophy is that you believe in force as a means to and end. I reject force both as part of my religion and also as part of my political philosophy, the same as Jefferson, Bastiat, Franklin and those types. It was rather revealing to me all those that came out in support of KYBC, then later when a thread was posted asking for donations out of financial necessity, only one other very generous Punaweber, malolo, donated. Think and act for yourself.
I saw this Samual Adams quote posted recently:
quote:
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
- Samuel Adams
