Something to Think About...

 Lizzy, I don't think you understand: your statement provoked the fight.  Something to think about.
 
I saw the statement in the article and found it interesting. The statement made me think introspectively, that I never want the cost of my clothes to exceed the amount of money I've given to a cause I represent. Interesting enough the model given to me by the Heavenly Father/Jesus ensures that will not happen.

       In what way did my statement provoke a fight? All I said was that we have had this discussion many times before and I don't choose to go into it again.

     If that's what you meant, you should have said so. You intimated that your concern was that Amal spends so much money on her clothes.
 
 
Just to be clear, I've never participated in a conversation about the cost of Amal's clothes in relationship with her Human Rights work.  I come from modest means it's extremely difficult for me to understand why anyone plays thousands of dollars for everyday ware: clothes, purses, and shoes.

     Perhaps you haven't participated in the conversation, but Amal's clothing budget has been discussed to death here. As I said, I thought we all agreed to disagree.
