You distilled what I said to a simpleton sound bite dismissal so you didnt actually have to apply any thought to a discussion. I say you mind your own business if your aren't interested in discussion and just want to flag wave your assumptions with no substance.

Shes putting 36.6 mil towards having people talk about changing the world by asking other people to talk about changing the world.
