>>>No way I should have any responsibility to 'society' -- whatever the hell that is.<<< See the Germany vice Greek comi-tragedy playing in a theater near you as I write. Lots of folks are talking 24/7 riots and strikes in Greece within days. If Germany bails them out, Germany might implode, if they don't, the Euro and Germany might implode. To quote the Rabbi Hillel - 'If I not not for myself, who will be. If I am only for myself, what am I?' The bottom line for me in this discussion - which has gotten quite OT - is that we are at the end of the great debt boom and perhaps - I hope - the end of governmental action w/o accountability (e.g. Social Security). There will be a painful adjustment. Talk of Moodys downgrading the French banks. Watch out below. I think that crude will get sold Monday - depending upon Greece and French banks. And yes, I am able to hold simultaneously the Rabbi Hillel and Nathan Mayer Rothschild in my head and not experience crippling cognitive dissonance.

gst - your view of "the Right" is a twisted caricature, as made plain by the article below. such ignorance is widespread amongst leftists, who generally lack the ability to approach the world in an objective manner - as it must be approached in order for its reality to be discovered; they prefer clinging to long-cherished illusions instead, as that way is so much more comfortable. should you be one of the rare members of that backwards tribe truly interested in deepening your mind, may i suggest you commence your education at any of these fine websites: moonbattery.com frontpagemag.com atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com have a great day! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ A common perception is that liberals and Democrats are more “socially concerned” than conservative Republicans, and one might make the natural leap that because of this, they are more likely to be charitable. According to the research that Arthur Brooks conduced though, it’s exactly the opposite. How could that be? That’s impossible! Brooks himself thought there might be an error in the numbers so he rechecked them. There was no denying the facts. Conservative Republicans, (who some argue would fire their grandmother to improve profitability) are statistically more charitable (more than 30% more charitable) compared to their “socially concerned” liberal democratic friends. Don’t shoot the messenger if you don’t like this, read the book and see the statistics for yourself. Just the facts here… richiericher.wordpress.com ...That’s not the only thing. Brooks points out that among the both the Republican and Democratic parties, people who are religious tend to give much larger amounts to charity, giving significantly larger amounts to both religious and non-religious organizations compared to people who were secular non-religious. Among all religious people, Republican conservatives still give a statistically significant greater proportion than Democratic liberals.
