All questions about priorities are good because life is often a zero sum game: you can't give full attention to two things at the same time, and even Bill Gates has limited resources.
William asks "What is worthy about sentimentality? " -- but that answer depends upon the more important question of "what is worthy about culture?", and outside of a theological context, it's rather difficult to come up with an answer. Saul complains that Capitalism "destroys our ability to develop to our full capacity as human beings" -- but where has such full capacity ever occurred and how can it be gauged? As I recall, Kirby also came up with a choice: between saving a train loaded with great Art and a train full of children. Preferring to save the train of great art, I was immediately called a "Nazi" -- so it's comforting to note (as Luc tells us) that in choosing between "a score written by Mozart or a human being, He (George Steiner) picked up the score." (and Steiner is also quoted as saying "my whole life has been about death, remembering and the Holocaust") ____________________________________________________________ Compete with the big boys.
