I like Kathy Kelly's voice of reason. I hate the "Donate Now" crap!

1. Microsoft uses prison labor to manufacture their software CD's.
They pay the prisoners 8.00 per hour. This is very high prison pay. Some prisoner work for 1.00 per hour or even day at other jobs. But Microsoft would have to pay non prison labor 36.00 per hour for the same work.

2. Kick! Important issue. Kathy Kelly is great. They hate the "Donate Now" crap, too
but it costs money to do what they are doing. They wish like hell that they had funding so they would not have to ask for donations, but they do. Make as large a donation as you think you can without feeling resentful later -- $1 or $5 or $50 and then you will be less likely to feel jerked around in future when you see their "Donate Now" request.

Peace.
