From Republican Senator Charles Grassley of IA:
| Quote: |
| Greed is human nature. We shouldn't blame greed any more than you'd blame gravity when a plane has an accident and goes down. |
Well shit, Chuck... when you can't blame greed for what a bunch of greedy fricking robber baron wannabe bastards have done to the country what the frick DO you blame? What is their motivation OTHER than fricking greed, eh?
As one commenter on C&L puts it:
| Quote: |
| It's like saying not to blame sex predators for their crimes, as it's just their nature |
And as another one asked:
| Quote: |
| And what of those of us who manage to control our greed for the good of others, or society as a whole? |
When you get down to trying to excuse rampant and unmitigated greed as simply basic nature, you've pretty well exposed yourself for what you really are, Chuck. Someone who is unable to control his basest instincts and put the good of the whole before his own selfish interests and therefore ethically and morally unqualified for any kind of leadership job or position.
I've kind of suspected that about you guys for a while now.
