actually, i prefer a chicken little approach to the 501c(3) situation.
*very* early in the this country's formative stages, there was the serious
warning to
"beware of foreign entanglements."
if the irs does not offer such an "entanglement" i really don't know what does.
re #52. yes, davel, those are/were reasonable questions. i gave my answer.
i have no particular problem leading with my chin when i can deliver
and also feel strongly enough about something. the wisdom of the voters,
however, chose to make the board 5/7ths staffers instead of, perhaps,
4/7ths (safer majority that way i guess).
one result is that the availability of another financial channel for
donations is eliminated, unless someone else wants to step forward.

It seems sort of silly to have to point it out, but the IRS is not "foreign"
- except to TS I guess. Nothing was said in the country's formative stages
about avoiding domestic entanglements - in fact, that is what has made
the country.

i'm surprised that rcurl missed the point, or maybe didn't but is
posing that way.
the environment is financial support.
our support is local, so far.
the irs is not local.
therefore they are foreign.
and if 'entanglement' is lost on the gentleman, ahve i got a deal for him.

Yes, I think I missed the point. Our support is not local, as it is
underwritten by a vast communication system created by us through ouor
federal involvement. And "entanglement" is any form of communication or
cooperation, and we are deeply entangled with radio, telephone, raods,
food production and distribution, etc. Perhaps you want to do away with
all of these entanglements and tend your own garden? Most people don't.

i don't want irs fertilizer in the gardening mix <g>. i think there are
less entangling availabilities.
