This post pisses me off more than most of the things Vinth says.

Moral people can be greedy too Vince. And how can you say "Capitalism is great" and "Greed is wrong"??? The wheels of capitalism are not oiled with greed, they're made of greed. People want money, possesions, property, power. Therefore, they take risks, and work hard in order to generate more possesions, make more money, and expand their influence. What else do you think inspires the entrepeneurial spirit?
Seriously Vince, I want to know that you actually had a reason for saying that.
