In total agreement with you.

I understand what you're saying, but this is the same type of "help" that "ambulance chasers" lawyers are offering. I have little respect for that kind of behavior. It lacks tact and good taste, a stereotypical salesman thing to do.

There are payed people at all those organizations I believe. Travis is hardly working for a non-profit, so I admit it isn't a fair comparison and maybe insulting to the people who work at those places, but I think my analogy is closer than yours.

As you say, I hardly think that is a good comparison. Do the people working at mustard seed solicit money from those they help? Will a nurse ask you for a commission?
