That's fair. In my case, I think I've decided that, so long as we're all going to be bad people, and value some human life much more than others, I'd rather care a lot about a few people than a little about a lot of people, and calibrate my charitable giving accordingly. It does not seem, in particular, less morally defensible, and it's certainly more along the lines of what humans were built to do. To that end, I adopted a shelter cat who was about to be put down. My views may change slightly, however, when I am less thoroughly and completely broke.

Fallacy of grey much? We're all going to be bad people, but some of us are going to be worse people than others.
