"selfishly what is good for the whole is good for me :-)" I'll have to digest that one for awhile. I think most people don't like to brag about their help to charity. I know Jesse Helms is considered the devil by many liberals but I once caught a story about how he adopted a boy knowing the kid had a pressing need for surgery so he could walk and Helms paid the many tens of thousands for the surgery out of his own bank account. I would would have to say Conagra is where principle kicks in with me. I wouldn't own their stock for all the ginseng in China. I guess I wouldn't own all the ginseng in China either! Someone once told me that Conagra had shipped up management to our Central Wisconsin plant from Oklahoma, where the norm is for management to step all over the rank and file. Didn't go over up here. They even had to hire a round the clock secuity guard for the place. Even in the jungle you have army ants that go on a rampage every few decades and destroy everything. I've seen them in action in Colombia. Nothing to trifle with.

>>> I have never read a study but I assume most animals prey on other animals primarily for food to survive..not to just see if they can take over the whole jungle..they are a lot more civilized and apparently more highly developed..than humans! ps to err is human :-)>>> Forgive for my two cents worth, but could not resist...The rules of the game were established for all species....Competition, survival and propagation....Each species got different tools, modified by evolution, the rules did not change that much from cave men killing other cave men..
