Egalite! - Let's Change the World!

The Change the World Fund

Every now and then something happens that fills me with a sense of infinite possibility, like the letter I received from a fellow in Maryland with a check for my book, and twenty five dollars to advance the utopian cause of my choice. My first inclination was to return the twenty five dollars with my apologies. I hadn't the foggiest notion of how to advance the utopian cause. Then I decided that since I say we must get off our butts and do something, it was time for me to do something. Right now my something is this Change the World Fund. I asked my Maryland correspondent for his email address and permission to use his name on this site. He never replied.

If a million people (not a huge number in Internet terms) each contribute five bucks, it not only buys lots of hardware or whatever, it exposes the big problem. How do a million people decide anything on line? We also collide with the problem of trust. I may be an internet scam artist enriching myself at your expense. On the other hand, maybe I'm honest. Would that change your perception of human possibility?

A woman named Christine-her email address was xtine. She used the x as in xmas, sent fifty dollars(48.25 after paypal took its cut) Her email address doesn't work anymore. I have no idea how to contact her. As of today-April 28, 2006 the fund's balance is $273.25, $25.00 from the guy in Maryland; 48.25 from Xtine; and $200.00 from me to start the bank account past the point of a monthly service charge. Should you contribute, I will list your name, if that's OK with you, and keep a running balance on this page. If enough people join, we might be surprised by what we can do.

Contributions to the fund are NOT tax deductible. Since at present I am the only voter, I choose to attempt political, not charitable, changes. Since the intent is to create an egalitarian, non-hierarchical, effort, my single vote may not carry the day when others are involved.

Send your contribution to "Change the World Fund" c/o Edward F. Kunin, PO Box 1555, Fairfield, CT., 06825. Include your email address. Perhaps we can get a mail list going to discuss whatever strikes our fancy. If we want change, we have to figure out a way to make it happen. We can't look to Congress for anything but more of the same.
