Yintimidation

Sometimes Whyte Horse, I cannot tell if you are playing devils advocate or if you actually have such radical opinions. While you spark much discussion you tend to always end up with a rallying against you. It is good that you state such things but saying

...greed is what makes the world go round. If it wasn't for greed, nothing would get done at all

is pretty out there.

If I want something, I can get it without hurting others, and it will benefit me and possibly others around me why wouldn't I get that thing? Is it greedy to want clean water to drink? Is it greedy to want food on my table when I'm hungry? Is it greedy for me to want a roof over my head with four walls big enough for me to feel comfortable in? Because those things help make my world go round. I agree that greed can be a problem, but saying that all things run on greed is simply ludicrous.

May the Force be with you,

Be careful of projecting your motivations onto those around you. Nice suit, by the way.

Yeah my real motive is to get people to think about these things... sometimes that means playing a devil's advocate, taking a beating in the forums, but if, in the end, it made you think for one moment, if it made you question what's going on, then it was worth it.
