Your logic is similar to what led me to vegetarianism, and what makes me feel guilty for not being full-on vegan. My mind immediately jumps to excuses and rationalizations, "I'm not rich enough to be picky", "We're all just cogs", "It's too much effort to care", etc.
I'm going to take some time to consider your comment more. It has unearthed some deeply-buried cognitive dissonance...
