Don't get me going again. When the Haitians were dying from contact with contaminated water during the hurricane, I was acutely conscious of showering in pure, potable drinking water. I started estimating how many people's lives could have been saved with the water my 20-minute shower took....

To me, it is quite interesting in an abstract way that people are dying in (for example) Sudan this morning, and other people have a paid job which involves writing to me to complain about the name of a body of water. One should think that there might be more important things to do in the world.
