Sean,

I was in no way poking fun at your position. Please believe me. I think that I understand your position and I respect it. I have no problem with agreeing to disagree, either.

I was only trying to say that the money that I would use to join a club would come from my pin money and not from my charity budget. No lighthouse will need to go without because of my decision. That's my only point, and I was very serious about what I would sacrifice (a night at McDonald's, for example -- which isn't much and won't change the world in any case) to join the club.
