Bangla Douche : We learned NOTHING from George Harrison's "charity" show

What do we remember about George Harrison's "Concert for Bangla Desh."

Ooooooh, BOB DYLAN emerged and performed! WOW!

And there was stern George, and some other superstars, and they twanged their guitars...

And Bangla Desh didn't see a whole lotta money. It somehow disappeared into the pockets of promoters, lawyers, record labels, and the "I pay myself first" staff at the various charities.

How many people, before they donate to a charity, look it up and see what percentage is sucked up by "office expenses" and "salary" and other essentials?

So here's a headline that is no surprise:

People walk away from Farm Aid, Live Aid, Geldof Aid, whatever, and think "wow, what a great concert" and "didn't I do something NICE by donating some money..." No. It wasn't a great concert, and no, your money got wasted.

How in the world could anyone in their right mind think that poor people with Ebola benefit from charity drives? The books are cooked, and very little goes to the hospitals that treat some of these dying patients.

Nothing goes toward preventing the disease by having sanitary conditions for these over-breeding cattle. Or distributing condoms or spaying and neutering these brainless animals.

People don't volunteer their time. They write a check and go back to eating Twinkies and Yorkies.

I had a friend, now an ex-friend, who ran a tax-deductible charity organization. Something was happening there, and I soon learned what it was. It was "Mr. Jones" taking the money for himself. Mind you, this was not a dishonest guy. He wasn't a pro at scamming. He was just an egocentric incompetent. He splurged for a fancy office, paid himself a good salary, and paid all his expenses as he "publicized" himself and attended parties and things. "Hey, I went to that $1,000 a plate luncheon for a senator. I told him he should support the charity." His dinner was a "business expense." He even flew himself around the country to attend "panels" to "discuss the issues." The idea was maybe here and there somebody might remember his charity and write a check? It wouldn't pay for all the money wasted.

George didn't realize "Bangla Desh" actually translates as "POCKET the CASH."
