RE: Greed
Were it not for the benefits of greed, you'd be pawing naked through jungle vegetation in the pouring rain look for rotting berries to eat instead of sitting clothed under a roof coking a meal to eat in a microwave powered by a infrastructure that trillions to produce while complaining about the evils of the greed in causing the recession.

RE: Greed
Greed is only malevolent when someone is taking something from others. I am incredibly greedy for a future where all of us can be free, with our needs met.

But most people don't extend their greed past themselves and their families... which is why my vote is as it is.

+1.

Thank goodness I'm not the only one that feels that way, Summer.
