Probably the angle that we are all human (I'm not so sure around here ) and as such should help all other humans.
Nice ideology but breaks down in practical application. That's why I prefer to help those I can on a one to one basis rather than throwing money at organized charities or having the (shudder) government involved.

If we all helped each other one on one we wouldn't need mass involvement. But one person can't make a difference, right?
mr noodle you're mad. you see the logic of superfluous thought capacity but still believe in god?

That's almost as difficult as figuring out the meaning of life.

Actually I love the whole series of books. In fact, I might reread them again.

and worth re re reading. I read them many many moons and moods ago, and when each new one was released, I liked to go back to the first one and read them all again in order so the big finale (the current most recent book) would be a fresh ending and the story would be fresh too.
