First, just because there are big problems doesn't mean we can't address smaller problems. Even though tons upon tons of pollution are dumped into the environment every day, I still brush my teeth. Second: What if Eich gave money specifically to prevent you from marrying the person that you love? Pretty awful, right?

Yet it is up to him to decide what his personal beliefs and opinions. Having lived in the US for the past 6 months, I can totally relate to the author of the article on some stuff. Americans consider themselves to be very tolerant and mindful of minorities. In reality the political correctness has reached a point where if someone even remotely seems like offending any kind of minorities, they will get blasted and flamed like there's no tomorrow. It doesn't even matter how serious it was, when it happened, why it happened - that person is just going to get OWNED. I think the case of Eich illustrates this quite well. I mean the stuff I can joke around about back home is considered mostly off-limits and politically incorrect in the US. I still get weird looks from time to time when playfully joking about topics that are not considered offensive or sensitive in most places besides the US :) You guys (in the US) are just overdoing it, need to take chill pill at times imho.
