Default Re: Another Way To Prove My Point about African Children.

$20/month isn't all that much to most people. It's not a life changing amount to contribute, but how far do you take it? The expression "give till it hurts" comes to mind. Should we keep donating until our quality of life is no better than the ones we are trying to save? Then you get into interpersonal comparisons of utility. $20 is much less valuable to me than it is to someone in poverty. Does that mean that I should continue to give until $20 means the same to me as it does to everyone?
