I think Professor Moglen once said that the concept of giving money to the poor while earning money as a corporate lawyer is all good, but it assumes that the work itself has a neutral moral value. Does that imply that being a corporate lawyer is (or could be) immoral? What is so different between being a corporate lawyer and being a blue collar worker? We respect people working in the Ford factory because they work hard to make an honest living. Aren’t they both trying to make a living to support themselves and their family? Is there more difference than their income?

 Leslie, I just wanted you to know that I wasn't referring to you at all by what I said in the end (if there was a misunderstanding by any chance). I was referring to the posts that attack others... I actually appreciate how you recaptured everything and added more valuable questions. =) Thanks! =)

Responding to Jonathan and Michael's post, I absolutely agree that the summary was valuable. Nobody should have a monopoly over their own words, especially in a public space as this.

At the same time, I do think it's important to retain complete records of what people have said, no matter how tangential or 'vomit-like' they've become. With that said, my apologies to everyone since I didn't know you could easily dig up previous revisions (thanks for the tip, Michael). Hope it doesn't seen like I've attacked anyone.
