That's an awefully pessimistic view about life. Especially if you live in a capitalist society.

You could easily open up a never ending philosophical debate about that one.

I don't think it makes what I said false at all.

Yes, they are making money, so what? Everyone makes money one way or another, and they are donating proceeds to charity, so yes it doubles for them to make money and support a good cause.

It transcends scams and swindle markets by being legitimate business. They are legit, and with this event they are also donating part of the proceeds to charity.

My friend is selling his first book ever, and he is donating 1 dollar from each sale to support US troops. So is he helping to assuage guilt people might feel for spending money on the book? Is he using it to convince people sitting on the fence? Maybe, but there's nothing morally or ethically wrong with that.

In short, He is selling a book to make money, and hey he is donating some of the proceeds to a charity.

Not such a bad thing. I think we just end up in a circle and go back to the beginning.

I think it's a good thing.
