By nature, we have needs, wants and desires that may be considered "selfish" by some. If we don't take care of ourselves, who will take care of us? Who will take care of us better than we can take care of ourselves? Will I have more in life by being lazy, collecting food stamps and other government aid, or by producing for my own benefit?

The question though, I think in all this, is whether we are allowed to "volunteer" ourselves for the benefit of others, or are we "forced" to help others? I am all for voluntarism. But, let's say I am a little greedy. I need some money. I have an idea that will put Ron Paul in the White House. But I want to be paid for my brilliant idea. I have a decision to make: do I give my idea away for free to save the collective, or do I hold out till I get compensation for my brilliance?

If I hold out for money, and yet no one agrees to pay me for my brilliant idea, and I refuse to give away for free my brilliant idea, and Ron loses the election, am I morally wrong if mankind suffers because of my selfish decision?
