I don't understand what you are saying. But, I do understand the fundamentals of greed. So, you're telling me that our governor used his own money to ride off and fight the golden horde of Juneau. My original question stands. Why would he do that? The goodness of his heart? Or, was it his sense of duty to Alaskans? The knight in shining armor goes off into battle because he wants something in return for his valiant efforts. Each one of us has a motive for doing what we do. The definition of greed comes to mind whenever I hear that someone does something out of the goodness of their heart. All that I'm saying is that people are fundamentally greedy. And, that is not necessarily a bad thing.
