As some of you may know, the Chordoma Foundation is a recently-created charity whose goal is somewhat similar to the Ford Foundation.   Both were created to give something away -- Ford (who owes its existence to murderous treatment of workers) now provides money to assorted worthwhile projects.  Chordoma Foundation needs money given to it, so it can destroy the reason for its birth.

When millions are in the midst of war, starvation, torture, and when our world aches all over -- my feelings are mixed about a foundation seeking a cure for a relative handful, even when the person I love more than anything is in that handful.

To whom do we give our resources?  Can we triage love?

I don't know.
