Greed involves acting in a manner that is totally and utterly self serving at the expense of others; the two concepts are not necessarily intertwined.

Again, you are arguing a philisophical point but you fail to make an adequate conclusion. Almost every action that we take at all times has some degree of selfishness to it however that does not mean that greed is involved.

I'm too tired to argue over this much more as I've now, inadvertently, become the point person of a groundswell movement taking place and have had to respond to dozens upon dozens of emails all expressing support.

Think what you will but don't attack people for being insulting only to turn around and insult them yourself; it's hypocritical.
Well said. We finally have common ground
