As a result of several comments I received regarding my recent post referencing Steve Kirsch, I feel compelled to offer some clarification.
My intention was not to cast dispersions on Steve in particular. Steve has donated and been active in many philanthropic endeavors. The post was meant to cast a wide berth, and include everyone who has reached a particular stature in life, i.e. Steve Case (AOL), Sergey Brin (Google), Larry Ellison (Oracle) etc. and the vast majority of our elected representatives, who have the resources to make a REAL difference in the world, but IMO, choose to act only selfishly, without considering the plight of others, or don't act at all.
I was referring to everyone who waits to put their resources to valuable use only for things that benefit themselves directly. Everyone who waits for a catastrophic event to spring into action. Everyone who needs to be embarrassed [chided] into acting before they are willing to help.
We have become....[snip]
Like I said in that previous post, what they're doing
