I completely understand the whole human nature argument. This is why I want us to have a strong military - because I trust us more than I trust Kim Jong Il or the President of Iran. Mutually assured destruction is why Western Europe was not absorbed by the expansionist Sovets.

It is also my understanding of human nature that leads me to support capitalism in medicine. Profit motive leads to better innovation, more research, and the best minds to pursue it (which, on a side note, is why I think teachers should be paid more than what they are).
