Yes!

response to  Meryl Rothstein's post Seeing Red

I agree, and I hope many more people will come to see that half-hearted idelaism with little to no real sacrifice is hardly what it means to do "good" in our world. I find it sad that in our country, we can buy a 5 dollar latte at Starbucks while donating 10 cents to charity and actually think we have really made a difference. It's all just consumer driven greed masked in guilt reducing opportunism. This has sadly become the hallmark of the socially confused, well intentioned but greedy, self-centered culture in which we live. I hope people like Ben Davis are able to educate us about what it means to trully give in a world of so much need. Not as an after thought to my brand new $300 IPOD, but as a $300 donation to someone who might not even know (or care) what an IPOD is.
