I understand your view point, but I guess your argument really boils down to, it's all justifiable in some way or another.

I don't disagree with you either, I live in a foreign country and fly home to see family each year, so I'm just as bad as everything I'm claiming is bad.

I guess this proves my point though, it's all justifiable to some degree: "I have to go see my family.", "this benefits millions." and on it goes.
