Blake came up with some highly interesting (to me) information when he
posted, in part: "In a tangentially related note, George Soros has
--...-- decided to spend whatever it takes to try to unseat George W.
Bush in 2004. "
The question I posed a few days ago citing Admanson as an example can
just as well be posed using Soros.
Soros is capable of swamping the political process -- he'd hardly miss a
mere $! billion or so. Bush is amassing $$ at a great rate of course, but
in the $100 million or so range. How much good will all these funds do as
they pay to trivialize the television channels in the fall of 2004? How
much MORE good would they do if applied to the real problems of the
world? If Soros donates $1 billion, will that make the world a better
place?
For me, I never send a dollar to a political cause or candidate. I always
think that dollar could do more towards the Kingdom of God (however
defined) if it goes towards my church, of Habitat for Humanity, or any
one of a great number of organizations which exist with a goal of helping
people.
Moreover, I am convinced that if I did send a dollar to a political
candidate, that would be an immoral act on my part. I do not speak for --
or to -- others, of course.
I have not always followed my own advice.
