Actually he's doing something to address the problem that he sees. Whether or not he lobbies for political change it seems silly to criticize him on those grounds.

This. Let's be honest, lobbying for change isn't for everyone. To make change actually happen it takes money, time, commitment, and connections. Maybe he thinks he is better suited to help this way instead.

Agreed. I used to be a front line lobby for change type. You realize sometimes its just easier to throw money at the situation. The problem a lot of people have is thinking there is only one way to solve a problem.

Which is why you have a successful program in one area work, but that same program fall flat in other places. (Charter Schools, Co-Op healthcare.)

He is being the change he wants to see, perhaps?

I suppose. I think this is a silly idea, but ultimately there needs to be people who advocate for aid for the homeless and people who give the homeless food/money/shelter. Because there's a need now as well as trying to fix the need for the future. Same principle works here.

I do too, though people have a right to persue their silly ideas. I guess my intended facetiousness didn't come through.
