clavus is spot on for me.
it has to have some sort of personal thing for me.
I support breast cancer and AIDS causes because I have lost people to them.
I support homeless outreach because they live around me.
I support world poverty issues, because I have seen poverty world wide.
The other day someone was trying to convince me to support their cause. I couldn't nor wouldn't because this person wasn't able to "make me see" why I should be responsible for it. If other people bucked their own responsility for it, then why should I pick up the slack at the end?
I ultimately filter causes via simplistic culpability, is it something they could do/could have prevented about it themselves or do they need outside assistance? If they don't shoulder any responsibility themselves, then why should I?
