To be clear, I don't think anyone is saying (at least I'm not) that nice people don't give, and that all names attached to giving have selfish roots. But it defies logic to think it's all just to do good. My daughter won a scholarship from my company a few years back. The name on it is a well-known person in entertainment with a long history of low-key giving to good causes. I wouldn't take a general sense of what we're saying too far. In the end, the money does good, so OK.

That is true and the same thought I had.
At least in your daughter's case, the name wasn't on the building, on every piece of letterhead and even the name of the street the building is on.

Then there are the necessary evils.....

Evil spelled backward is "live".

It's also an anagram of "vile".

As as child, I asked my parents if Evel Knievel was really evil.

Yes.

True. She has had to commit to serving in underserved areas/people when she graduates (as stipulated by some of the grants she received) but that was her plan anyway. She's American Indian, and knows what she needs to do with her knowledge down the road...

 

[ButteMT61]

Yes.

My Dad says yes too. But it was because Evel chipped one of my Dad's teeth in a bar fight in Butte Montana
Wears it like a badge of courage he does...

Exactly...except don't put them all in one basket...

Sadly, that's the attitude that allowed it to flourish.

Ha..! Now ain't that the truth...!!!

Don't ask, don't tell, don't resist.
