"I hate it when people use 'greed' to explain something... it can't explain a price increase or a price decrease. Everyone's like 'the greedy oil companies are driving up prices!' Whoever says 'Hey look, the oil companies got less greedy. The price came down.' - Ben Powell

    Like all things progressive...it's not the proper word... not to mention it assumes a false connotation of the word...originally "greed" was not a bad thing. It just described someone that liked to collect a particular thing and it usually ended up being of help when society need those things.
    Once the french got a hold of the word...they turned it around backwards and used it to describe Fat people.

      Here Here! When they do that ask them to define the difference between egoist and egotist and ego-centric. Thinking that hard is far beyond the capabilities of a sec prog just as is the concept of Islam as a religion and political system at the same time. Ask them to back up thier statement and it's wheeze, waffle and whistle Woosh the challenge of heavy thinking results in the absence for a few more months.
