There are two kinds of people on this earth:
The crazy, and the insane.
The first sign of insanity is denying that you're crazy.

They're "special". Read the comments from readers at the bottom of
the page... mostly supportive... just one leftist weenie thinking
they're "entitled".

United Way is a PRIVATE charity organization, BTW. NOT funded by the
government.

Just the same as in the UK when many people leave it until the last
hour of the last day to enter their Tax Return online and then find the
site crashes due to overloading. After which, they are liable to
penalties and complain about it.

The scout troop that I was in, over 40 years ago raised all of it'
own funds, and any papers that needed to be filed were mailed in the day
before the were allowed to arrive, so they got there the next day or
two. That was part of 'A scout is always prepared!'.

I know. Their office is right behind the local VA clinic so i went in
one day to see if they could point me to an affordable law office, or
group that helped to incorporate a non profit corporation. I was rather
disgusted with how disorganized they were.

I was the "Den Chief"... Life Scout who assists the leader with a Cub
Scout Troop.

Oddly, however, many LEOs and other gov workers as well, contribute to
this particular charity. Weird. Weird like the mason thing.

recipient as "The Florence Crittenton League" ;-)
