An insult to the needy
Apr 10 2008, 12:34 AM EDT | Post edited: Apr 10 2008, 12:34 AM EDT
You likely know someone who is really needy --- someone struggling to hold onto their home, to pay their power bills...someone homeless..and the many, hardworking Americans without insurance and need medical care. Even if intentions were pure, I'm not sure the real needy are being served. I'd be more impressed by a match -- match all the funds given to the contestants, including $1M prize, and award to charities that will make a real difference in the lives of the needy. I'd also like to see ALL the profit from this show donated to charities that help the needy -- that help jobless learn new skills --- that fill our local foodbanks --- that pay the power bills for those without funds --- etc. Do you find this valuable?
