Maybe you should try it one day.

Sharp rap on the knuckles accepted. It was a sweeping generalisation of volunteers, I know there are those that 'want to give something back'. I apologise.
However, this still doesn't take away from my argument that in a modern civilised society there should be no need for charities and that the charities of today are little more than businesses with tax breaks taking advantage of the volunteer ethos.
