If I have 10 biscuits and I give you one, you have one biscuit.  If I
have a million biscuits and I give you ten, you have ten times as many
biscuits, no matter how hard you try to portray me as stingy for giving
you 1/10,000th as much of a percentage of my biscuits.

What you're doing is the moral equivalent of asking somebody for spare
change, and then insulting them for giving you 50 cents instead of a
dollar, while at the same time accepting a lift to the shelter from
them.  It doesn't belong here and you should be ashamed for using this
mailing list as a forum for your political agenda.
