My two-penneth,

if you felt the urge to do something for the grandma in the street, you may give money/shelter/food something like that. But, then you might use the old adage "if I give money/shelter/food to one needy person should I not give equally to all?". Here you might think about giving to/starting a charity, to provide larger, more equal sums, to more people - a commendable thing. But, most charities need organisation, hierarchy etc, so you're pretty much back to a business type structure, a democracy. Where even the fairest boss may actually thinking about themselves/company/charity before others.

Therefore going back to the second quotation in this thread, from Mr Bloggs, and I'm not a religious type in any way, isn't it actually a humanist approach that may have the best result for the human race/planet? I.e. all working with each other, fo the same goal of survival, rather than for a boss/government/state or oneself etc?

Hoping this isn't thread drift, and that mY spElLiNg/punCtuAti0n wAS c0rrect!

Regards,
