This whole argument, and any other like it, is totally bull and not
worth getting into. There is *nothing* so important that nothing else
is important, and nobody has the right to judge someone else's
priorities. Gee, why are we fooling around with letters instead of
going to poor parts of the world and working to supply these people with
basics like food and shelter, if we're so concerned with "using our
talents to do the most good"? Michael is using his talents as he can
and as he sees fit, and that should be the end of it. Whether you agree
or disagree with his results is another matter.
