I take exception to this as this forum is one of the many VERY appropriate places to write about Steve Jobs. And as much as you have a right to your opinion, it's poor form to have written what you have.
You assume that any of us won't create posts about teachers, soldiers, struggling children, those less fortunate on other blogs, forums or venues. You assume that we don't feel the same suffering as you do about the same topics. There are other ways and other places to do so and many of us do just that. And while Apple does outsource to China, they have actively been involved in trying to better those workers' quality of work and life conditions.
Nearly everything you touch at some point in the day has been made by people in worse conditions or less fortunate than perhaps those within you find yourself, and I applaud you for wanting to see change. But remember that while you chastise those of us for feeling the way we do in a positive light about Steve, his merits and accomplishments, you are doing so by using and owning the very things you so despise.
I'm not calling you a hypocrite, I'm calling you foolish for using this forum at this time to do so. Go somewhere where you might make a difference.
