    Right, but without some particular initiative drive that the organization is
    trying to do such a thing, it's difficult to get others to follow in the
    footsteps. I'd happily be the first to donate to this cause, as long as I
    knew that others would be doing the same. I sure as hell-fire can't donate
    1.5M. I can donate $150.
