'Supporting organization' seems to be a curiously transparent word. It doesn't seem to make any kind of attempt to present itself within any pre-designated context, nor does it imply any self-evident characterization.


A 'supporting organization' sounds like something one goes to in order to kick a drug habit. Ironically, supporting organizations are the new drug for America's oldest addiction: greed.


When policemen go to middle school classrooms to talk about drugs they usually have a video to show of some mock-addict teenager in the suburbs looking for his next fix. These videos always include a scene where the teenager sneaks into his/her mother's purse or little brother's piggy bank to get drug money. These scenes are usually supposed to evoke disgust. American middle school children are aware enough to know the notion of stealing from others to benefit one's own addiction is abhorrent."
