Lol, more me first nonsense. Speaking of which, where is our beloved X? I am going to unbookmark this thread unless she comes back.

edit: I mean I want to see her posts for my own self interest. I find X the Unknown one of the most thought provoking, and emotion provoking, posters on the internet.

Realize that I'm not such a big fan of purity, mainly because I don't really know what it means and I suspect that few people do.

As I'm sure you're aware, there are theories of ethics based on self-interest -- which tend to work out, consequentially speaking, with other, less obnoxious sounding theories, so long as that self-interest takes the long, enlightened view -- discovering, of course, that other people's interests are in your own.
