Foundations for What?

I'm not accustomed to going on rants but I have had it up to here(I am touching the top of my Hakeem Olajuwon poster) with all of these "charity" events going on in my beloved city. It seems every other week there is a walk going on for the Aids Foundation or a tree climb for the Diabetes Foundation. People naively take time out of their busy weekends(probably for the free tee-shirt) to help raise money for these institutions that on the surface look altruistic. Well, looks can be deceiving(and the tee-shirts aren't that cool)

You wanna know why you will never see Thomas B. Culton at a relay race for the Polio Foundation? or a black tie gala for the Jaundice Foundation? Because Thomas B. Culton doesn't support the founders of these diseases. I am against them. I want to fight them, not support them. Frankly, I think these foundations ARE the disease. I know we live in a "free" country, but really? Really? Can any country truly be self-respecting that has allowed these foundations to thrive and infect its own people. Moneys are exchanging hands somewhere in the District of Columbia.

Sometimes, in sci-fi stories, there are scientists who go to distant planets in order to study and report about alien culture. They are some of the bravest characters ever penned. They walk in a cloud of unknowing, led only by their passion for knowledge. Will their tools aid them in this foreign land? They can't be sure. Has their education prepared them for the mystery they are about to behold? Not likely. Also, a very common storyline is romantic involvement with a member of the species the scientist is studying.

The real-life occupation that best resembles this fictional character would have to be the male gynecologist.
