It's absolutely disgusting that victims of violent crime have to raise money to get their medical bills covered.

"I shall avenge you!"

The problem isn't earning money - it's earning money unjustly off the labor of others with no regard for the social good.

No, it doesn't. It really doesn't.

But you do whatever you need to keep your dreams of self-righteous objectivist me-first consumerist activism alive, buddy.

Meanwhile, those of us who aren't hurt that a woman allegedly had sex with more people than you have brain cells will just have to keep on truckin' through our
