Your use of the Summers incident seems far more likely to inflame people than help educate. I predict it will increase the number of readers whose takeaway from the article is that you simply want to defend the indefensible, and are best to be ignored. People who already agree with you will enjoy it.
That's a really good idea. I'm going to think about what that might look like.
Every time you see a media article concerning a topic you are knowledgeable about, it seems wise to gauge the accuracy of the article and update your estimate of the value of getting information from similar sources.
Drawing from several online resources, including lukeprog's "How to Beat Procrastination," I helped my high-school-aged daughter understand the workings of her brain a bit better. She has had great success in achieving several short-term goals for herself over the past month.
There are two sentient biological agents who are not yet ready to fully care for themselves, and I provide the means for them to enjoy food, shelter, education, entertainment, cultural enrichment, personal connections, and other life experiences while they develop. As part of a larger organization, I organize matter into a form that my fellow beings find far more useful than the original formation of said matter.
In sum: 2 beings, great positive impact each. Millions of beings, small positive impact each.
Just that.
