[QUOTE="PlanoSteve, post: 3515786, member: 91609"]I don't see why it would be edited; for one thing, I see nothing political about your comment.

Yes, there are many "worthy" causes, but as citizens of a [B][I]free[/I][/B] society (at least to this point), we are, after all, [B][I]free[/I][/B] to give to one or more causes, without regard to whether one is more important than another.

Just sayin'! :shame::cigar: My Back Pages - written by Bob Dylan, but best performed by The Byrds!! :happy:;)[/QUOTE]
