Question by Clara: If I had the money, I just thought of a great charity to create. Anybody care to comment?
Set up a “reformed Muslim rescue center”. I’ve done a fair amount of traveling in that world and met a lot of people who are just persecuted for wanting a little freedom and the ability to think for themselves. And, literally, the quality of their life is determined by the strictness of the religious jokers in their country. The poor guy in Iran has been arrested and beaten for protesting, while the chick in Egypt is just, literally, a prisoner in her own house. So set up a halfway house where you work with lawyers and whatnot to get them out of their countries and into, well, mine (The US). Or any other Western country that will take them. These are generally the best and brightest of the people in their world. The more curious you are, the greater intellectual freedom you want. And I think it’s the curious people who push human development forward. I’d offer psyche counseling as well, because they all have PTSD to one degree or another. So what do y’all think of this? It wouldn’t cost that much and I think it could do a lot of good for a lot of people.
