Right, it's kind of like a charitable crapshoot. It could just go to video games or drugs. Why not give the money to someone you know for a fact can put it to good use? People didn't just randomly give to a group of people to create Sean's Outpost. They gave their bitcoin to a person who stated he would feed the homeless with it.
