Gave a little money ($15) to Wikipedia yesterday. Felt good because it was overdue. They never bug you unless you visit their site (which I do frequently) + while they are not an unimpeachable source, their info stands up really well. Plus when you give they get rid of the pitch for $ on the page.

"Who can we shoot?" John Steinbeck had something to say about this in The Grapes of Wrath, when a bank worker is knocking down shacks on foreclosed land and a farmer thinks a rifle will fix things.
