Understood.  And, I think that many of the people who express opposition to 
the XO laptop on the grounds that the $200 apiece could be better spent on 
food do not actually care about hungry children either.  I think their real 
reason for opposition is they want to maintain the current structure of power 
in which a relatively small percent of the population makes and imposes 
decisions on the rest of us.
