Different things have different levels of import, right? You may be interested in both snowmobiles and human rights issues, but they are not equally important.

By scattering your attention into different areas, by scattering people's efforts into different sub-groups, their power and focused is limited.

As an example, I have french-onion soup in the oven right now that I must attend... it is dinner time here in Japan... and I must run.

I hope to continue the conversation later and I am sorry that I did not have more time to think of a decent response to your (very appropriate) question.
