        I totally believe you. Wonderful response. I'm tired. I'll answer tomorrow. I will not be so giving cuz I know right now I'd start with a mansion. No! I wouldn't. I have to think.
        commented 12 years ago

        First thing I would do is give my offering to the Lords church. (referred to as tithe in the old testament) . Next, I would donate money to help the ASPCA,Humane Society,and pet rescue groups. I would build one of the largest and most amazing pet rescue center that anyone has ever seen.

            Remember the old tv show "The Millionaire"? I'd be like that guy, searching out deserving people who are down on their luck, and help them out.

                For a start, I'd remain in the same house. I'd buy a new car every year. I'd go for a six month's holiday on the QE2.I'd personally give money to help someone who needed it. None of this Unicef and Red Cross. Have you seen how much they get in wages every year. Hardly any of the money you give goes to charity.

                  If I won 1/2 a million, I would keep 10g & give the rest to Trocaire or similar charity & NOT THE ONES THAT CREAM OFF the first 20% OR MORE. Some people are so greedy, "I'd waste it all on myself "

                                I would try to re-vitalize communities that lost industries that were their life blood, focusing on more advanced technologies and development and their application within already existing industries, with a portion of profits going to help people get back on their feet. I would try to operate within the philosophy that, "It is better to teach a man to fish, rather than to just give him a fish."
                                I think there are newer and better ways of doing many things, and we need to wake up and face the reality that we need to re-think and re-tool after having the rug pulled out from under us by NAFTA. We need to make ourselves self-sufficient energy wise, otherwise parts of the rest of the world has a strangle hold on us.
                                I once worked in a place that had a big banner on the wall that said, "Work smarter, not harder!" We have the capabilities, the technology, and the people to implement that approach to many, many things. But, as a nation, it is like we are standing here dumbfounded by what is going on around us. Now is not the time to do that...now is the time to change that.

                                  I would definitely start an invention company to help those who don't have the money to go forward with their ideas. This would help a lot of people better their quality of life, I think that would make a real difference in this world.
