How does this explain the brave citizens on the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania who fought to retake control of the jet rather than let the terrorist cowards crash it into another building and kill hundreds or thousands more people? Those brave people knew that they were most likely dead, but they sacrificed themselves for their fellow citizens without big brother government telling them to do so or forcing them. They did it for love of family and love of country and love of FREEDOM!!!
How does this explain the hundreds of Red Cross volunteers that dropped everything they were doing to rush to the disaster zones to help???
How does it explain the thousands of NYC residents who rushed to the hospitals to donate blood when it was thought that there'd be a need?
It seems that every one of these people I've referenced above has (or had) a few waking moments that were not dedicated to capitalist greed!!!
Well said. Very true and all that.
