I was making a fine point. The comment was down voted because they disagreed with it. Yet reasonable people can disagree. I think in this community down voting is used to discourage a certain behaviour, not so as to penalise someone who expresses a valid opinion. Charities are full of bureaucracy and the entire money does eventually not end up to the people who are supposed to get it. Also, squeezing as much profit as possible, perhaps to the expense of life and great environmental disaster in the case of BP, is not desirable.
