This has been bothering me for a while but I avoided making it a rant. After I read the dairy at Kos linked above I decided I wasn't going to shut up.
I'm going to assume the diary writer is being honest, so here we have a person that is trying to help someone. We have people that have donated well over $150,000 for the Peace House at Crawford to help Cindy protest outside of the Presidents home, yet verbally spit on this person.
Who should be more important? Trying to help a family keep their home or keeping Cindy protesting at Crawford? I stop and think about how many homeless families or families that are about to be homeless could be helped with $150,000. I then stop and think about how much money is raised here locally for campaigns, Jack Ford has raised over $500,000 if I remember my numbers correctly. That's just him not any of the others.
We have families right here in our area that I know of that are in extremely bad situations, and there is no help available. The working poor are struggling and falling farther behind. I've never been in a situation where I could donate thousands of dollars to anything, but I highly doubt I would choose political bullshit over helping real people.

I agree with your assetment and in Utopia your ideals would be reality and there would be no homeless and all members of society would be productive, no matter how large or small the production.
But that isn't going to happen in our lifetimes. There will always be political bullshit contributions that should go to charity. We can only hope that that will change with time.
Though it may seem fruitless, tilting at windmills isn't a bad thing all together.
Yes, I have my "Donna Quixote" moments...and with that? One of my favorite quotes:
Great hearts, my dear master, should be patient in misfortune as well as joyful in prosperity. And this I judge from myself. For if I was merry when I was Governor now that I’m a squire on foot I’m not sad, for I’ve heard tell that Fortune, as they call her, is a drunken and capricious woman and, worse still, blind; and so she doesn’t see what she’s doing, and doesn’t know whom she is casting down or raising up.
