Horrible argument. Bloomberg is about to run a Marathon in NYC too, you think thats a good idea? Buying an iPad is a morale boost? Society is pretty ****ed if thats the case.
Anything can be a morale boost as long as it gets you way from your situation for a few hours. Not to be confused with a moral boost which may be what you think I said judging by the response

AAAAND, this can be a huge opportunity for many organizations aligned with and sponsoring the marathon to get people moving and motivated to help New York and New Jersey.
This helps put more spotlight on New York. It will bring people there that will see and be moved to do something.
Well said, echoes the sentiment I was trying to convey here.
