Well, if I'm going to give to a charity, then I'm going to use some judgement. If you want to hand over wads of cash to whomever asks for it, be my guest. Send some to me. What, you won't do that just because I asked? How judgemental of you!

Who said I wanted the feds to shake them down? The FBI is investigating them for reasons unknown to me. But before I sent them money, or got packages from them, I'd want to know. For all I know they're getting tainted food from China and passing it off to unsuspecting people for 30 bucks a pop.
