@JohnJrwards @BigSkyPipeSmokr To cite Christopher Hitchens on The Virtue of Selfishness, "I don't think there's any need to have essays advocating selfishness among human beings. I don't know what your impression has been, but some things require no further reinforcement."

My friend and colleague David Lipsky is set to have a monster hit next month. "The Parrot and the Igloo" is not only the most comprehensive book imaginable about our sad climate. It's also, against all odds, utterly fun.

@Alveirosantos10 @Samuel_Stealth @amerix Read "How Much Land Does a Man Need" by Tolstoy and get back to me. By your estimation, greed doesn't exist, then? If $270,000,000,000 doesn't count?
