Greed Kills: .ly/xKzxMp
Why do we tolerate a greed-driven economy with the baggage that it brings? It is because, as I am told by my fine fellow flaming fundamentalist friends who feverishly favor their own religious selfishness, greed is real. Greed is as much a part of man's nature as war--this is said with a disingenuous obliviousness to the connection between the two. So since greed is a fixed cost, we might as well try to harness it for mankind's good and our own pleasure. But what is missing from this shamelessly warm embrace of greed is a recognition of greed's inseparable companion: WAR. And war is, in an age of a technologically-driven inevitable proliferation of WMDs, a real threat to everyone's existence.
