What if I said?

What if I said?

That I wanted to help feed all the world's children.

What if I said?

That I have an idea that could possibly do it.

What if I said?

That I'm a real person, who doesn't want your money?

What if I said?

That I just want you to read and consider my idea.

Would you do it?

And

What would you say?

Thanks

Rick Carroll

I'd say "So what?"  25,000 kids die each and every day on this planet, and
your "plan" won't save even one of them. Why? Because raising money is the
smallest and easiest step in the entire process of saving those kids.
Converting that cash into food, medicine, housing, and making sure it's all
spent on those items, and then delivering the goods to their destinations
(once you have actually determined the destinations!). And assuming all
these things happened, then what? Your "plan" won't rid the world of
disease, droughts, floods, earthquakes, corrupt dictatorships,
ethnic/religious/tribal conflicts, unwanted/unneeded pregnancies, and on and
on. Your plan won't prevent the Nile river from becoming unusable for
farming and drinking purposes within 20 years, a river that in Egypt alone,
78M people depend on for sustenance. You had a nice dream, now forget it and
stop wasting our time with your spam.

..and this was his reply to the message, which i had also sent him
privately:

"Well buddy,

You are allowed your opinions just as I am. When they make you God then
maybe I'll listen. I guess you have a lot of time on your hands if you need
to put so much effort into complaining about something."

That's it. Not even an attempt to address any of the points i raised. I can
only assume that his "plan" so far is to grab a big buncha money, because
that's all he's ever talked about: how to get the money.

What i want to know is that when did anyone make this Rick guy God?  Its too 
bad that it is a money grabbing cash scam cos there was somewhat of an idea 
behind it.. but i don't think it would go to the right places, just 
someone's wallet..

I happen to know Rick Carroll  & he is very giving & fed up with people 
who in this world of ours are here just to serve themselves & not give a 
damn about others. Some might see him a bit left of center but is a 
better man than many. I personally feel that this town is full of 
"trailer trash" save for a few good people.

I don't doubt his sincerity. But until he does the homework and thinks
further along than some type of credit card, that card might as well be the
"RickCarrollLamborghiniCard". Just like you need to have a business plan
before you go into a bank and ask for a loan.
