		<description><![CDATA[Though I did cringe at the name in association with &#039;at-risk teens,&#039; you had my mind opening up again until &quot;If you are going to demand alternatives, you should be willing to offer to do one.&quot;

When people make known how they want to spend their money, that information is a resource to people who want to collect money. The people who want money are certainly welcome to decide that the cost of getting that specific money is too high, but do we really want to tell all the spenders that the only two options are &quot;this is the only thing I can/want to/am going to do, so like it or gtfo?&quot;

Criticism - even unsolicited - is important to progress. It&#039;s okay for creators/creatives/those involved to take it personally - in fact I start to worry if they never do. But I don&#039;t think it&#039;s reasonable to suggest that we have to change every aspect of the world we want to make our opinion known on. 

Have you ever used Pharos Uniprint? :)]]></description>
