   CS -- I tried various clubs and was disappointed.  Most were just rich old   
   guys writing checks and meeting weekly for lunch.  Any actual volunteer work   
   they conjured up did not really sit well as being helpful to the community,   
   nor the world.  And, when I would participate, those writing the checks were   
   never there.  So .. I flipped a lot of hot dogs and sorted a lot of canned   
   goods at the food pantry, while they wrote checks to suppor them and moved on   
   with their pretensious week.  What have you found most valueble to teach your   
   kids through action, that falls in line with being responsible to more then   
   just ones household?

   I quit corporate life for the very reason of most conflicting wtih my   
   policital or social views.  I do not mean this maliciously, hoowever if my   
   mom had not passed, I'd still be required to work for corporations.  I was   
   blessed with a mom that saved every penny she could her entire life.  She   
   never made more than $15 per hour at most, that I recall, but she saved much   
   more then I thought a person could at that type of pay -- especially living   
   in new york.
