Here's
someone's list of values. Do we share these values? I'm not sure why the billboards (Helen Keller, Albert Einstein, Muhammed Ali, Wayne
Gretzky, Whoopi Goldberg, the Dalai Lama, etc.) and the witty television spots sponsored by these people don't make me happier. If
they were commercials for Kodak or Hallmark, they wouldn't give me the willies the same way. The brief "About Us" on their website -
In this 
day and age, it can be hard to believe an organization’s only goal is to encourage others to do good—but that really is why we exist. - makes
me suspicious, too. Who
is the Foundation for a Better Life? An unidentified benefactor pays for all of it, says the website.
Is s/he like the forgiveness-fetishists at the
Fetzer Institute, or the proto-fascist movement built on virtuous citizen's groups in Frank Capra's
"Meet John Doe"? Actually, trusty
Wikipedia tells us who the
benefactor is, and where he's coming from. Hate to have to say I told you so.
