So, the local NPR station is having a raffle for a Toyota Prius, one of the new models of gas/electric hybrid cars. I'd *love* to win a car, and a hybrid would be even better.

Here's the problem. To be entered in the drawing, you need to make a donation. I strongly disagree with NPR's coverage of Israel, and don't want to support them in that. Yes, they've improved somewhat, but it's still horribly slanted...

But I want the car!

er... help?

raffles are bad odds anyway

follow your conscience, even though I totally disagree with you on npr, you should do what you think is right and not buy a ticket...odds are against you winning, so you (in theory) win the money you would have spent.

I support npr, am a total tree hugger, and I honestly think that when you compare them to the rest of the media in america, the public radio and tv organizations are usually the only ones not jumping on the latest jingoistic bandwagon. That's why I support them. We need an (at least somewhat) independent voice. Even when I disagree with them, I thank that we have them around. :)
