    even if lust wasn't a sin, lusting after Marlo Thomas would be.

    Fuck that. Rational self-interest is necessary for anyone's survival. We all act in the best interest of ourselves and our families if we have one. If this weren't the case, turning the other cheek would be an acceptable response to being attacked by terrorists.

    It stops being "rational" self-interest when you willfully disregard the well-being of others, or hurt people who don't deserve it.

    And healthy pride is a virtue. Hell, you're all Americans. You should know that.

    What do you mean by "motivate content people?" It seems like you would almost need motivation to be content today. I think people who are truely content with what they have and believe needed an unimaginable amount of motivation to get to that point.

    forgot to mention: awesome thread. excluding the excessive clinton tangent of course.
