Oh, dear, the mating cry of the cooercive collectivist: "It's so selfish of you to not give us what we want!".

You're missing the point. It is selfish to not do what you can to help your fellow man. I'm selfish, you're probably selfish; we all are. But jaguar's right when he says that a civilized society does what it can to stop people from falling through the cracks. We, as Americans, do not do enough in this regard.

And Radar, the absolute devotion to any ideology is myopia. The free market is not the answer to everything. I think it should generally be used for most industries, but there should be a close watch put on it. And certain things, like the health of the population, should not be left to the free market.

While I am greatly respectful of the assistance Bill Gates has given to charity, that does not change his predatory practices in the business world.
