Non GMC content - help the world's hungry while surfing

[ritch hwang]

I wasn't gonna post this on the 'NET, but finally decided the members of
the GMC online community would be willing and enthusiastic contributors to
this effort. =20

Quoted from recent article:

.October 15, 1999.The Washington Post (USA) =96 =93Think of all the time you
spend clicking aimlessly or fruitlessly around the Web. At the Hunger Site,
one click actually accomplishes something: It sends a serving of food to a
starving person, at no cost to you. Corporate sponsors provide the food in
exchange for free advertisement and links. Since its June 1 start-up, the
site has sent enough money to the United Nations=92 World Food Program to
purchase more than 4 million servings of dietary staples; a WFP official
calls it =91an extraordinary testimony to the power of the Internet.=92 The
privacy-protected site is run without profit by John Breen, an Indiana
software programmer who initially wanted to support Third World education
but decided hunger was the priority. As his world map arrestingly
illustrates, starvation kills 24,000 people daily, most of them children.=94

We all have causes. I certainly don't have a problem with this one,
althouth I can't imagine how a a computer click becomes a full
stomach.
I do have a problem with the wording you use:
