The Let's Change the World Fund

Early July 2003 a fellow from Laurel Maryland sent me $42.00, $12.00 for my book and $30.00 because somewhere on the site I suggest sending money to strangers who might do things worth doing. I called it taking a chance on love. I did not expect anyone to send me anything because I have nothing going except this site.

I am also sensitive to anything that might be construed as leadership. We are in this together. If you do not want responsibility, I can do nothing as easily as you. Irresponsibility provides motivation for hierarchical systems. We follow orders and think what happens is not our fault. It is time to change. If not, we deserve what we assuredly will get.

My first reaction to the $30.00 was send it back. Thinking it over, I decided I, too, have a responsibility. Internet numbers are amazing. 100,000 is no big deal, but if 100,000 individuals send in $10.00, we could create a volunteer Internet Service Provider for everyone who cares to join. In my neck of the woods three universities fall within a five mile radius and Yale is 20 miles away. In addition every middle and high school has students who run rings around teachers. An internet service provider is one idea. Perhaps you have another. We must attack the problem of internet communication. How do 100,000 people decide anything? Don't feel bound by the $10.00 suggestion. Here, as everywhere, what you do is up to you. Send your contribution to Change the World Fund, c/o Ed Kunin, PO Box 1555, Fairfield, Ct., 06825.

I do not like rules, but I want you to know how I intend to treat contributions should any come down the pike.

1)If you include your e-mail address, I will add it to a mailing list I hope to get started.

2)If the number of contributions is small I will use your name and the amount of your contribution to show the total in the fund. If you do not want your name used, please specify you wish to remain anonymous.

3)If, and this is unlikely, the number of contributors gets too large, I will post only the total dollar amount in the fund.

Presently the fund contains $130.00. One hundred from me and $30.00 from the fellow in Laurel Maryland. I don't use his name because he didn't give permission. At that time there were no rules. Do not be shy about your name. Our founding fathers had no problem standing up to be counted. Too bad, if fear does a number on us. Think about how we decide what to do. If you can help, please do.
