Giovanni, I think you said it better than I could. I say it is a little bit of narcissism if you want to see the negative side. However, why would it be true that the bad people would be the one surviving , Jed? I am sure you are wrong and making Huizenga an example smacks of poor judgement. He might have had a different opinion. He might have been wrong. His ability to make life good for him is what it is all about in this question. No, it is not as noble as you say Jed. Much more me, myself and I. Anybody reading this wants to say; "I am below the level of contribution so let me die". No, nobody wants to say so, I find that good. I think if there is a way of making life interesting and be productive, the date on the birth certificate does not matter.
