Thanksgiving is upon us and I thought flamers might do a good deed and try to redeem themselves [although I'm sure it will take more than this paltry gesture]

there is a wonderful site found by E. ou might want to visit it daily, and email it to all your friends with the suggestion that they do it, too, and pass it on to their friends. You'll see why if you go there:

thehungersite.com

simply click the button once a day and your click will have induced a corporate sponsor to donate a specified amount of free food to a hungry person.

the amount of food -- rice, wheat, maize or other staple food -- you send by your click varies according to how many corporations (or, occasionally, individuals) are sponsoring the site that day. Today it is 2 3/4 cups! This is the most those of us who have been visiting the site daily have ever seen!

Maybe your company would even want to sponsor the site? Each sponsor pays for 1/4 cup of food....

"Every 3.6 seconds someone dies of hunger; 3/4 of the deaths are children under 5."

[I hope this doesn't ruin my reputation. I'm rotten, really I am, just ask around]
