Name me one charity that would be a good idea to support officially with monero and I'll do my best to say why it's a bad idea.

No matter which charity there will always be some sort of political underpinning.
While in the strictest possible sense this is technically true. I don't think the conclusions follow. There are charity initiatives that *almost* everyone supports unanimously. The best example I can come up with right now is helping the communities affected by these hurricanes.
You guys are proving my other point, which was that no matter what it will turn into a debacle. Add logical fallacies ad libitum ad naseum.. I'm not going to pick each one apart. It doesn't even matter if the criticism is valid or substantial - because then we just see the trolls emerge.
The easiest is of course to support the project itself to the development fund.
The work done to implement all your ideas is almost the same irregardless of where it's implemented. Might as well push it directly to charities instead.
Don't open up attack vectors, when entirely not needed.
goin2mars is probably right in realising that the people to implement this tech and those to approach are the ones already running all these ad-plugins and so forth.
Even apps like firefox could implement this into their application so it's mining when open (even though it's already a resource hungry app).
All those more hidden places (and probably many many many more) would likely make the network propel much more.
It would also add liquidity to the market and probably also soak up a lot more coins (just by virtue of storing it and transferring it over short periods of time) which would have a positive effect on the exchange rate.
