No AFWJAM, only one other Punawebber publicly trumpeted their donation, you have no idea who did or did not donate due to that thread. Not everyone uses charitable giving in their community as a way to rack up points in some bizarre ideological competition.
I am sorry, I did not mean to indicate that only people who posted in the thread donated. Sounds like you did and did not post, mahalo for your generous support. What amazed me was the amount of outspoken support for KYBC before in the other thread, most of it being ideologically justified, kinda like my donation. Later when the thread came up for donations, it was almost silent, no show of support for KYBC and their need. I have been a part of many philanthropic and charitable events and organizations, a sense of camaraderie and cooperation is extremely effective in motivating donations. Sorry if that offends you and thank you again for donating.
The plastic bag ban did not affect me much either, however I am still philosophically strongly opposed to it. I don't smoke, but I am also against smoking bans not allowing businesses to choose for their own establishment. I believe this sort of legislation is the result of a society of corrupted morals where force and violence are considered effective means of human to human interaction. I have been taught my whole life to be non-violent so I find these sort of morals flawed and corrupt.
