Donations

Getting money donated to you goes by many arbitrary titles. It's all a matter of perspective.

On the streets, asking for change, you're likely a hungry panhandler.

Collecting from the pious pews on Sunday, you're a church member.

Narrative is more crucial than accuracy of source.  News stories are too often headlined with brazenly misleading distortion, intentional inclusion and exclusion based on whatever supports their self-interest. What you accept as verified fact can greatly affect your life. Do your own research, check important stories of interest independently. Who's behind the message that is so ardently promoted?  News networks, today, cannot be trusted to adhere to codes of conduct that prioritize truth and impartiality. Power politics and their myopic, partisan agents are the information players on your screens, hoping to influence. Be wary of smiling pundits.
