Reply #31: He's right there seems to be good chunk of people who don't care

about decency, the rule of law, etc. Just git-r-done.

There are times you encounter someone who is just a better person than you are, they may be more generous, kind, thoughtful, etc and the 'smart' thing to do is try to take some lesson from them to improve yourself not trash them for being all uppity and 'clinging to the moral highground'. That is how I try to look on people that show me the numerous flaws I have as a person. I don't always take the lesson to heart but I try to recognize it, even if it is just another time I see how I am 'wrong'.
