EH - 57 : Integrity

Doug Bandow, formerly of the Cato Institue, makes some very appropriate points in this apology for nefarious nebulus action. The fact is that if you limited the 'regulators' to only disinterested people, nothing would ever be regulated properly. People act out of self interest; fostering cooperation rather than competition is how groups get ahead of individuals. Mutual aid societies were villified, but really, that's all life is about. Mutual aid between you and your friends and relatives to have enough to lead the 'good' life. Of course, good is a subjective term.
