I, for one, have not distanced myself one whit from my beliefs that everyone who is wealthy in global terms has a duty to give to charity, and to do so in a way that has as much positive impact as possible, and I refuse to concede the term to the racists just because Diva has a bee in his bonnet about it.

As with many movements, you hear more about the extreme fringe than you do about those of us who are quietly giving our ten percent and the lives we are saving.
