Salvation Army



Dear God,
What is your affiliation with this "Salvation Army?" Sometimes it feels they are advancing a bit too much with the perpetuated obscenities of capitalist America. Their slogan, "doing the most good" leaves me apprehensive about dropping cash into their carol surrounded capsules. "Doing the most good" sounds like something an Enron board of directors member would say to a judge in a tense situation, or something George Bush would say when requesting more war funding. For an organization tied to Christianity, the importance placed on good may be a bit much. It's understood that nobody's perfect, but striving for perfection in a humble way is usually more effective than proclaiming "most good," right? It's always easier to be passively critical about these things, but some clarification on why they are at least ringing bells before Thanksgiving would be well-received.
Dolla dolla bill,
