This question came up on the blog of a Tribe friend, and I thought it might make for good discussion here.

My intention is to give mine away. I mean the "extra" money that GWB is supposedly going to "refund" to us. Of course there are lots of consumer goods I want, but I am also doing okay (not great, but okay) financially, and I'm mad at Bush for this because I think it's a cheap publicity stunt.

Despite my modest means, I do have a budget for philanthropy - if that word can be applied to such small gift amounts. And because I've always worked for nonprofits (hence the modest means!) I'm sensitive to the needs of organizations trying to do right. There are so many areas that could use our support: environment, health, arts, etc.
