Readers are always encouraged to comment and share the links to these blogs on your favorite social networks.<\/p>\n<p>I put a lot of work into the daily blog and the Examiner articles. Examiner actually pays me by how many views my article gets. They don&#8217;t pay me very much, but it is at least something. Aside from a few donations every now and then and some money from my favorite supporter in Japan,\u00a0 Dangerous Talk doesn&#8217;t make much at all. I have tried to make it easy for people so that you don&#8217;t have to donate by adding the Dangerous Talk Bookstore, Zazzle, and GoogleAds, but it seems few people make use of those features.<\/p>\n<p>Please consider making use of those features and buying Amazon products through the Amazon link. Also, I understand that the economy is rough and few see the need to donate to a blog they can read for free. This is part of the reason why I have added the Amazon and Zazzle stores, but if you can support Dangerous Talk with a donation, it would be appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone who donates within a given year will receive a Dangerous Talk Helladay Card. This is a greeting card that I put together for the winter season. They are usually blasphemous in nature and sometimes even a little political. I try to create a new concept that I think represents the year as I see it. I generally sent them out to people on my VIP list. However, anyone who supports Dangerous Talk with a contribution becomes a VIP in my book.<\/p>\n<p>I rarely ask for donations because I am keenly aware of how Churches and religious groups swindle millions from their flock. However, I am also keenly aware that money talks louder than daily blogs. So I am asking those who enjoy my blog to consider donating a few dollars to Dangerous Talk. I am also asking that you consider using the Amazon search box and book store on Dangerous Talk to do your helladay shopping or other Amazon spending. Consider buying a t-shirt, bumper sticker, clicking on one of the Google ads from time to time, and sharing the blog links on your social networking site of choice. It would also help if you spread the Examiner articles around the interwebs as well.<\/p>\n<p>I appreciate your continued support.<br \/>\nIn Reason,<br \/>\n-Staks<\/p>\n<div class=\"linkwithin_hook\" id=\"http:\/\/www.dangeroustalk.net\/?page_id=938\"><\/div><script>\n<!-- \/\/LinkWithinCodeStart\nvar linkwithin_site_id = 317364;\nvar linkwithin_div_class = \"linkwithin_hook\";\n\/\/LinkWithinCodeEnd -->\n<\/script>\n<script src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/widget.js\"><\/script>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/pixel.png\" alt=\"Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...\" style=\"border: 0\" \/><\/a><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the last few years, I have been publishing a daily blog here on Dangerous Talk free of charge.
