My justifications for my rankings
I don't care as much about those issues where the recipients of the bad effect have a choice about receiving it, such as tobacco. Although, I don't want to contribute to the problems, and the actions are a detriment to the society as a whole.
I don't care as much also about corporate involvement with the community because I think community involvement is the responsibility of every individual and not the corporations. Actually, I prefer that corporations don't make the decisions about what is important to support.
