Dont underestimate the gratification of posing as an altruist. Dont most of us here agree that the average Liberal 'do-gooder' is actually a self-absorbed infant?

You can be 'selfless' and an egoist at the same time. As a matter of fact, it is almost a guarantee.

When you think it thru, I wonder if anyone of us has really done ANYTHING out of pure selflessness, from donating to church or charity to caring for our kids. Pure selflessness, I would guess, is as rare a commodity as any.
