Oddly enough, this article reminds me of our attitude towards charity...

"When a man visits a prostitute, the mere act of handing over cash for services removes, in his mind, all emotional obligations to her."

Or when a society uses cash donations and somebody else's bureaucracies to remove any emotional, social or moral obligation to the poor and different. Please, just take the money and go away, so I can be safe and untouched and in control and comfortable...
