Yes, Michael, agreed. And charity-chic in the entertainment industry is a very good thing, e.g. all the celebrities who've donated big to the One campaign. Only disadvantage there is that it can feed a sense among salaried classes that these problems can be left to the super-affluent, like movie premiers and mansions in the Hollywood Hills. Fantastic to see charitable giving to issues of extreme poverty have as much cachet among middle-classes as it does among Jolie/Pitt crowd.
