I will agree with celtic all the way here, and will laugh my ass off as we take you and gut you like a sparrow while you imagine.

If you thinkt that even the mayor of botswana or whatever the fuck isn't pushing his best interest, his agenda, his view of the world..........then you haven't any imaginatiuon.

In america, those people of which you speak are not called Republicans.

They are called 'Radicals'

Altruism does not exist. It's not virtue, but fiction.

People do what they do because it is what they want to do--because it is what they choose to do.

Yes CL, there is altruism.*

I think the concern is that Bush will be seen as being anything other than presidential during a New Orleans hurricane. (Again.) Three years ago as Katrina hit, he and McCain were doing a little celebrating....

Oh, and also there's the fact that Bush's proximity would undermine McCain's attempts to distance himself.

Anyone who`s rescued a dog,worked a soup kitchen,volunteered at a hospital,coached a team,built w/ Habitat for Humanity,helped flood victims,joined a volunteer EMS/Fire Dept.,etc.,... knows the joy and fulfillment of altruism.
