Is there a difference between an Sharpton, Weisel and Pam Geller?
Causes and agendas exist which individuals genuinely feel must receive publicity and attention. So the individuals commit themselves to the cause. Then while advancing the cause they need to eat. They need nice clothes to appear on TV. Some of these issue people end up promoting themselves more than the cause they allegedly seek to advance. Others of these individuals remain in the background and promote the issue more than themselves. Of these that remain in the background, some still enrich themselves while others live humbly.
It is no different than religious leaders, or leaders of charity hospitals. Some environmentalists are hypocrites and fly their private jets. Other environmentalists live consistent with their ideology.
If one person chooses to be a hypocrite, or a self-promoter rather than issue promoter; And another person chooses to live his ideology, .... Who are we to judge and tell a person to live his life the way we think it should be lived?
At the same time we can pick and choose whom to follow and whom to ignore.
Yes, and I am repulsed that you could postulate that. I'll add your name to the list along with Dorothy Reik.
