caio,

eating people is wrong, sacrificing virgins is wrong (do they not have
mothers-in-law in those cultures?). what about abortion? what about
killing an animal? what about killing a plant? genesis instructs us that
fruit and seeds shall be our food as the eating of such is the gift of the
plant to us for helping it survive. what about spending lavish amounts of
money on opera productions while people starve elsewhere, is that wrong?

i would concede your point that opera singing requires academic training
to do the 'right' way. i would argue against its need for academic training
justifying its value. i knew someone who earned a doctarate in ancient
languages. he expected doors to open upon receiving his degree.
unfortunately, translating at the trials of people who have been reincarnated
does not provide full-time employment and, as his professor had the only
other job in that field, he was out of luck.
