Why would people donate to the families of firemen who died while "[B]voluntarily"[/B] trying to rescue people at the World Trade Center? Why would people make a donation to support the position of an activist who [B]"voluntarily" [/B]stepped forward and challenged racism, poverty or, in this case, a rogue Employer who knows the difference between right and wrong, but just doesn't give a damn. I guess the short answer is that people seem to want to reach out and somehow help those whose have put themselves in harms way in order to make a difference. It's human nature. So, I guess the simplest answer to your question, Upstate, is that you wouldn't donate and no one would expect you to. [/QUOTE]
