If you don’t have time for organizations like Big Brothers/Big Sisters or the like, fear not, there is still a way you can “sponsor” disadvantaged youths, particularly minority ones.
There you have it… when one gets outside of one’s own rigid paradigms, there are numerous avenues out there for good in this world to be done.

Bdaddy and I had an uncle P. that thought this was the solution to the population explosion. (Remember that "doom and gloom" prediction of the sixties?) He never meant it to be race specific as I recall.
State Rep. Brian Duprey wants the Legislature to forbid a woman from ending a pregnancy because the fetus is homosexual.
He said the bill looks into the future in case scientists find what he described as a "homosexual gene."
Just a little more irony for y'all
Uncle P. had issues; even as a 9 or 10 year old, I knew there was something wrong with all his predictions about how the world was going to end soon. I see Al Gore as his intellectual descendant. But optimism, especially about the future, better suited me.
Anyway, the clip is just stomach turning. I understand the importance of raising this issue; but as unofficial ombudsman, I think that we've tip-toed right up to the edge of decency.
B-Daddy, please expand on your "decency" remark. I thought the clip and the history of Planned Parenthood speaks for itself.
Debate... I want debate, doggoneit!
Dean,
It was very difficult to listen to someone ask how to donate money to kill a baby. It was made more difficult when the motives were clearly racist, even if the caller was only testing for a response. The incongruity of the chipper attitude of Planned Parenthood staff just made it worse. Their failure to recoil at such obvious evil caused me to stop the tape before it was over.
I only agree, in the sense of the repetitiveness of the remarks. That was a bit unnecessary and the humor was a little dark....even for me.
But I'm glad it's out there for the world to see. Has there been any repercussions from the clip?
And Bdaddy, to this day, I don't think I ever made my mother prouder than when I told Uncle P at the dinner table, "I wouldn't starve, I'd eat his poodles"
Dark humor beating pesimism at the ripe age of "how old were we at Nana's funeral?" Hey, did you put me up to that?
There were lots of "issues" at THAT dinner table, I'm sure.
