True.  Are you saying this view is wrong semantically, wrong ethically, or 
wrong in some other way?

It's my observation that the number of people who fight (meaning actively 
doing something beyond writing to your congressman) are a lot less than 
the number of people who benefit.  Are you suggesting otherwise?

Also, when I said peopled aren't needed to care about these issues, it 
doesn't mean they aren't wanted.  If people want to join the fight, I'm 
sure they will be welcomed.
