From the 4 downvotes ( which hurt a bit I'll admit, it's like punishment -- for what? Offering an idea? My instinctive response is 'whatever' to people who want to try to punish people for making ideas. Because this is a problem that needs ideas, punishing discussion is a ridiculous response. The comments I've gotten have not been the exemplar of constructive responses that such ideas and such a topic merit. ) -- I'm sensing there's a lot of negativity to this approach. Along the lines of "how dare you think you can help them." which is not a workable response at all. From my point of view, I don't really see the need to get so emotional about this. Just see it from a level headed perspective and take some concrete steps. Thinking that such a sad situation can be improved is not something to get so angry about. But to some extent I understand that...since it is an emotional issue, because it's such a painful one. I think it works to bring some calmness to the approach for excellent results. Even if I try this and fail the people are not going to be worse off. So why has this proposal garnered your hatred? It really doesn't make you look bad that I have an idea about this and am bold enough to say it, and you don't have any ideas to speak of. So if it doesn't make you look bad, and it's not going to cause any harm, but might actually cause some good, why do you hate it? No need to be afraid of it. What this will be, if it is anything, will be like nothing that has come before. So your reaction isn't about this idea. Your reaction to this idea is about you. While we could spend some more time discovering what about you it is, I don't want to spend that time so. You should discover what about this idea raises your ire so. That will be a really interesting discovery for you I think. That's what your reaction is about. You should work out why you feel like that. And while you're doing that, the people who choose to want to contribute to making improvements in this problem and others can get on and do that.
