re: #327 Syrah

Altruism is a funny thing. It is more often than not an expression of a compulsion to compel.

Sez who? Ayn Rand? I don’t buy it.

And I bet most here wouldn’t buy it either. Do you honestly believe all the many people who volunteer, donate, perform charity work are ‘expressing a compulsion to compel’?

Maybe I have somewhat more of an optimistic view of human nature than you do.
