"Why be good?"
Because it is good for the survival of the species. If everyone kills off everyone, then there will be no one to pass on the genes. Species gone. If you fuck with someone, you will get thumped.

There is that occasional bad ass, but they usually do not get to pass on their genes (translation: for the xtians; to know a mate. for the real folk; fuck.). It it seems to be an inherent quality of the gene pool.
