John: /_______________________From your message________________________\\ I didn't know "altruism" had such a negative connotation. __________________________________________________________________ Here's a Rand quote, "Do not confuse altruism with kindness, good will or respect for the rights of others. These are not primaries, but consequences, which, in fact, altruism makes impossible. The irreducible primary of altruism, the basic absolute, is 'self-sacrifice'-which means; self-immolation, self-abnegation, self-denial, self-destruction-which means: the 'self' as a standard of evil, the 'selfless' as a standard of the good." Negative connotation? More like a pure evil. Bob
