Where is the ethics in me opening a 40$ bottle of wine when it could sustain a person in Africa for half a year. The notion that we are ethical because we keep our own little garden neat and fine is laughable imo. We are all sinners. We all live on the corpses of others.

Therefore I find it troublesome when we, the rich, start to cast guilt and blame upon others. We should look inwards first... if we find that we are holy, we may cast the first stone.

Edit 2: sorry I seem to turn every topic into something serious. It's really not my intention. Gotta practice on my jokes.
Well, you can caount that as a rant and be on firm ground, here.
