"Only those CONDITIONED by an immoral or pseudo-moral system like capitalism would believe all humans are naturally greedy by nature."

Which explains why the US gives more to charity per capita than any other nation on earth? Askel, those not conditioned by capitalism should be living in a caring, sharing, socialist utopia using your logic. Ever ask yourself why this is not so?

Capitalism doesn't explain that. It only explains why we have MORE to give than others.

The society's selflessness is directly proportional to its morality. I shouldn't wonder that the vestiges of Christendom (as existing HERE, rather than the formerly militant atheists Soviet Union, Eastern Bloc or totally decadent and largely "democratic socialist" EU ... much less Muslim, Buddhist or Hindu nations) have instilled in them a greater sense of CHARITY for their neighbors.

Or perhaps explains why the Beloved Homeland needs all those charitable institutions?

Obviously, the government is failing to spread the good news about capital.

We must redouble our efforts comrades!!! NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND!! Oh excuse me. Really and truly, I am off to re-educationland. I'm going to re-read Locke's Second Treatise wherein he admits that the whole government program....errrrr, I mean--"the whole ethical/social construct" can only work as long as there is "enough, and as good" left.

(Luckily, the earth keeps geting bigger and flatter every day....)

But, as I said, I shall not upset you all any more. I am no party crasher--that's for sure....
