Nick,
What's come over you. Has power gone to your head. Much more of a subdued response than I was expecting.
If I may - I would hope my 'musings' would be directed at that very narrow slither of humanity where the definition of charity has been ....how shall I say "overused". What the US has done to his/her fellow allies is nothing short of heroic and I include the UK in that after helping us out in WWII. But this, I would suggest is in a different part of the 'charity' spectrum to crowdsourcning.
As far as American Sniper is concerned - a very interesting hypothesis you have. Perhaps it's one for "Jet Blast"? I personally thought the guy was a bloody hero - but how do you get that across 'commercially'?
