Default Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.

I'm with krsqk on this one. Greed channeled into a force for good is not greed. I don't know what the word is but it has a different name.

However capitalism does operate on a foundation of greed- of acquisition for the sake of acquisition, both at the individual level (hey kids, buy this! You don't need it, you don't want it, but you have to have it) and at the corporate level. (companies expanding for no reason other than to expand- who are they doing it for? Companies laying people off even though they are in profit- just not as much profit as Last year)
