-No, Zizek's point is that billionaires are 100 percent toxic waste, whether
-they "note the contradictions" of their business/philanthropic activities 
or
-not.

Why?  Is there a prescription here?  Should all non-profits refuse all Ford, 
Carnegie and other "toxic waste derived" money?  Should folks working on 
AIDS work in Africa refuse Gates money?   Should drug reform, workers rights 
and public finance campaign folks refuse Soros money?
