You can talk all day long about FM having so much to lose, but the fact is that richer, poorer, and just as rich people take a fuck of a lot bigger risks than that.
People risk death for things they believe in fighting for. Larry Flynt risked prison, and in fact spent time in prison several times because he believed in something. Your parents or grandparents fought and possibly died in wars, with little or no personal rewards if they didn't die. They did it because they believed it was the right thing to do, fuck the fact that they could die. I bet they wish they could just risk 10 million dollars, instead of their very lives.
Sure, some people have more to lose, which means they have more to start with, so maybe they should be willing to risk a little more.
Again, FM did what he felt was right for him, that's his right, but for you to say that he shouldn't risk anything because he has 10 million dollars and someone else only has 1 million is ridiculous.
I don't have anything against FM or his programs. You don't see me posting that everyone should boycott like some people did, but that doesn't mean I agree with everything he does.
