Hello Audio Experts!
I see that DS has sent the board into an ethical tizzy. The answer to the question posed is easy (IMHO!):
Two things: "those who can, give; those who can't..." I really have no idea what the true quote is, but the idea is that those who have enough should help those who don't. This is some kind of Christian quote, not from communism (or liberalism, or conservativism...)!
"Increased capability means increased duty". Again, a mangled attempt at quoting someone. Ie: If you are a small person who sees a physical crime, you might not be able to stop it, but the big guy who can and doesn't, deserves blame. This can be applied to money matters, also.
Now,in real life we often have no idea of the good or wicked things our nieghbors are up to, let alone someone on an internet chat board (exceptions being people like Mother Theresa, or our VP who made $20 mil and donated less than 1% to charity)!
But just increasing your net worth and giving to a charity doesn't cut it either, as you have seen on "The Sopranos". People can harm with money, or else we would be x-times a better society in 1900 because the economy is x-times bigger. The converse is that it is hard to help others when you can't dig yourself out of your own ditch.
So, is Suzy bad or is DS bad? Got me!
