Yes, and vice versa, and that's ok. It's nice to have these discussions regardless. I'll just respond to the last point below:

This response strikes me as being awfully similar to Obama's "You Didn't Build That" statement. And I think it is borderline offensive (not personally, mind you, and offensive probably isn't the right word...).

I find it offensive that anyone would get into their mind that their efforts are worth 10's of thousands or hundreds of thousands times more than anyone else. There's just not that discrepancy in effort put into work, regardless of what occupations you're comparing. And just because the market says it's that, doesn't mean we should just adhere to it. Men's hair growth gets a ridiculous level of research compared to some very deadly diseases, does that make it right just because the market says "we don't want to be bald"?
