How a dollar can make a difference.

With all the holiday giving these days and calls to donate to political parties, kids with cancer, veterans groups, dogs with three legs, diseases that don't really sound that bad and flag football leagues for the colorblind, I've continued my philanthropy with this little act of generosity. see image to left

It stuck my head some time ago while taking care of business and I've continued this socio/political exercise on occasion for the last year or so.

I generally don't premeditate this action, as was the case today, on Dewey Avenue, Greece NY.

You see, I'm interested in changing someone's life with one dollar. How bad is this country going if someone goes to lengths to secure this Federal Reserve Note for themselves? Or for that matter some jackass that takes this legal tender and pisses on it. Will this be a topic of conversation for the person in charge of restroom cleanliness? Surely the initials on the door stating the last inspection by qualified personnel indicate attentive oversight of the premises and therefore it must be addressed in a timely fashion.

Crass you say? When was the last time you intentionally left money for the taking in a public place? My hope is to persuade the finder to think about this act and their response and possible action for the sacred Almighty dollar. A grassroots version of Andres Serrano's Piss Christ. Art for the people, without public funding and appropriate for all ages.

My only mistake was in the orientation of the bill. In God We Trust is on the back. My bad.
