Adrian,
I think charity is a cunning capitalist invention. Whatever the cause, it will never be a total solution.
The people doing the charity thing get more out of it, in the sense that they feel they are " making a difference ". Plus they get the smug satisfaction that goes with it that they are somehow doing great things. In some case it eases consciences. I have attended charity do's in the past and witnessed known criminals flashing the cash in charity auctions.
It also diverts people's attention and involvement from campaigning in the political arena for a fairer society where charity is a thing of the unenlightened past.
As for your rant that socialism is evil, well I lose it sometimes too.You can't be serious....can you?
