Angry Charities

Which person is better, the one who automatically wills to do good and goes along with it, or the one who automatically wills to do bad and fights against it?  Obviously the one fighting against his own will has to go through a lot more work.

With that in mind, I'd be interested in seeing a website called angrycharities.org.  It would be based on an idea that there are some people in this world who do not want to do good, but feel obligated to do good and do not wish to disguise that fact.  They desire to be sincere and not mask themselves with a smile, but they still wish to do the will of God in taking care of his people.

Service with a frown.

Also, I'm wondering if the emergence of angry charities would encourage more people to avoid getting into situations that drive them to depend on charity.  "Shoot, that charity was mean to me.  I'm going to try to support myself so I don't have to deal with those a-holes anymore."  Of course it would still be a bummer to be rough to people in legitimate need.  But oh well.  That's why angrycharities.org is just fictional.

Still it would be refreshing to see a dose of anti-hypocrisy, where people try to make themselves look bad while doing good, instead of trying to look good while doing bad.  Imagine if we had a politician that did that.
