From the New York Times:  "The Urge to Punish Cheats:  Not Just Human, But Selfless".  Honestly I don't know what to say about this aside from the ideas in the article are blatantly misleading and disgusting.  comment [] 10:59:40 AM

I haven't posted for almost 2 weeks now.  Let me try to explain to you the reason.  For the last 5 years of my life I've been fighting an inner battle.  The battle was a contradiction, now I've checked my premises.  The battle was between what I wanted and what reality could give.  I wanted a life given to me without need for my assistance.  I wanted to have money, but not work.  I wanted to have respect, but nothing to respect me for.  I wanted love without limit for no reason other than because I wanted it.  I was wrong.  These things don't exist in the way I wanted them.  My life is as I will it.  Only what I earn and create may I sow.  The world is mine to shape in my image.  Until now my image would have been nothing.  It would have blown away from any random wind.  Now I build my foundation.  Today is the begining of something new.  My life is exactly that, My life.  No one will decide my fate but I.  No one will be higher in my own eyes than myself.  Let the world demand my respect, I will not grant it.  Let the world demand I serve, I will not move.  But let any man offer me a value and I will meet his price with the best of my ability and if he deems it worth his best then, and only then will I trade myself.  And so it begins.... comment [] 1:43:16 AM
