Of course, what is in it for us? Does there have to be anything "in it" for us? What's in it for us when we send our military forces on humanitarian rescue missions? What in it for the police when they receive a 911 call from you and you're asking them to respond to that guy breaking into your house? What's in it for the firemen who risk their lives putting out fires, including those caused by arsonists? I do all kinds of "good deeds" without asking what's in it for me. All I want is a thank you, a smile, and the implicit promise that they will do the same for someone else. Hawk
