Thanks GoatFood, I appreciate your candor. I think guilt plays a very real part in charitable giving. It's hard not to see those that are suffering and not feel guilty as you drive around in a nice car or eat a nice meal. Hell, it's hard to not feel guilty that you don't have to worry about where your next meal will come from or if it will come at all.

When you give, would you be more likely to give to help a specific person or to an organization? Will that difference influence how much you give?
