Don't waste your money

The foolish should not be rewarded for their foolishness


 Caleb Wallace, a Texas man who organized protests against masking requirements and believed that COVID-19 was nothing more than a hoax, died this week after a battle with COVID-19.  Normally I would just shrug my shoulders--fools rush in where angels fear to tread--but I happened to notice in the piece written about him that his family has a Go Fund Me page, and frankly, the fact that people would send them money after he and his wife made a colossally bad decision about their future is just a bridge too far for me.  Never mind the fact that they couldn't look out for the health and well-being of their friends and neighbors, they couldn't even be bothered to look our for the best interests of their own family.

There are numerous people who have Go Fund Me pages for the families of those who lost a parent to a drunk driver or to cancer.  There are millions of people around the world who go hungry every night.  We have organizations looking for cures and comfort to cancer, heart disease, and illnesses such as Muscular Dystrophy and ALS.  We have the Make A Wish Foundation, helping dying children realize a dream.  Mother Against Drunk Driving works to keep our highways safer.  There are many programs at your local schools that desperately need funding.  In these difficult times, it's not unusual to pass a homeless person on our drive to work holding up a sign seeking a helping hand.

Any one of these people or organizations--and there are literally thousands more--would be a much better use of your resources than the family of Caleb Wallace.  If you live by the sword and ultimately die by the sword, you shouldn't be rewarded for your stupidity.

There's too many people in this world suffering through no fault of their own to waste our money on people who brought it on themselves.


People Who Refuse the COVID-19 Vaccine Are Why Our Lives Can't Return to Normal
