Again why are you using adsense if all you need to do is feel good?

Who said anything about not wanting to earn money? The question isn't whether AdSense publishers should or shouldn't want to make money; it's whether an "anything goes" mentality is good for AdSense and publishers, or whether it will limit AdSense's growth and ultimately kill the golden goose.

In any event, what you or I feel is irrelevant. Google's program policies clearly state:

"No Google ad may be placed on pages published specifically for the purpose of showing ads, whether or not the page content is relevant."

If you disagree with that policy, you shouldn't be arguing with us; you should be stating your case to Google.
