the political aisle. >>
You are quite right. I should have mentioned this. And if there are three
or more sides of the political questions, it happens on all sides.
And it is not confined to the wealthy. Any one of us who contributes to,
or publicly promotes, some cause is (potentially) in violation of ethical
principles. And worse, any one of us who does NOT do so may also be in
violation -- we are enjoined to take a stand for those issues we deeply
believe in.
Admanson, and Soros, and Ted Turner, and Bill Gates, and many many other
wealthy folks do that, and for that they ought to be admired and
emulated. At the same time, it is fair game to question both the causes
supported and the methods used.
That is why I don't write anonymous letters. Of course, it goes further
than that.
