Nate, although I am aetheistic, I get on my knees and thank the world that people are greedy and competitive. What else do you think makes the U.S. so powerful? It certainly isn't the people that run our government. It's the people (greedy animals) who care about themselves and have the freedom to do so. How grateful I am to these greedy animals that provide the best of everything; the best bread, the best bridges, the best roads, the best buildings, etc. Because of my fellow greedy, competitive animals, I live in this capitalistic utopia.
