Amazing.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 11:38 AM) What power can you have in a six person relief group? My premise was a smaller relief agency, close to the people in need, would be better than a large, multinational, out of touch agency. The smaller agency would be less likely to have resources and more likely to be corrupt.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 11:34 AM) I gotta go with Balta on this one... absolute power corrupts absolutely. There are more likely to be the tempations that would cause corruption in a bigger organization, vs a smaller one. There is also probably a more intimate connection to the cause, which would lead to being less likely to steal from it. I agree with you on the premise but wouldn't absolute power be more likely in a six person relief organization?

I am thnking of something like the Balta-Tex charity with a half dozen employees in some third world backwoods. I'd trust Catholic Charities, Heart Association, United Way, and those types before I'd trust the likes of you and me.

I was a huge Who fan in high school and college. One of my favorite memories was SIU, Halloween, someone playing Baba O'Reilly at full volume outside a dorm building. About 200 people singing along in between chugs of Bush beer. OK, the beer sucked, but the rest of the moment was cool.

What does she look like? Maybe I'd do her.
