The powerful arguments in this thread have convinced me that greed is good, so there will be NO presents this Christmas.


Can anyone give me an example of how they have performed a greedy act that has been for the best? I betcha no takers.
The original title was put in quotation marks, "Greed". If I properly understood Mike's motive for doing so it was a tongue-in-cheek comment on people who believe that folks who are successful are, by definition, greedy.

So, assuming I'm not mistaken in that assumption, then I will use his definition of "greedy" and proudly proclaim it and exult in my "greediness". I worked hard to become the modest success that I am. I'm greedy for more of the same. The world benefits by people who exhibit that sort of "greed".
